'''CodeSynthesis XSD''' is an [[XML Data Binding]] compiler for [[C++]] developed by [[Code Synthesis]] and [[dual license|dual-licensed]] under the [[GNU GPL]] and a proprietary license. Given an [[XML]] instance specification ([[XML Schema]]), it generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code. It is supported on a large number of platforms, including [[Linux|GNU/Linux]], [[HPUX]], [[Mac OS X]], [[Solaris]], and [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]. Supported C++ compilers include [[GNU Compiler Collection|GNU G++]], [[Intel C++]], [[HP aCC]], [[Sun C++]], [[IBM XL C++]], and [[Microsoft Visual C++]].

One of the unique features of CodeSynthesis XSD is its support for two different XML Schema to C++ mappings: in-memory C++/Tree and stream-oriented C++/Parser. The C++/Tree mapping is a traditional mapping with a tree-like, in-memory data structure. The C++/Parser is a new, [[SAX]]-like mapping which represents the information stored in XML instance documents as a hierarchy of vocabulary-specific parsing events. In comparison to C++/Tree, the C++/Parser mapping allows one

to handle large XML documents that would not fit in memory, perform stream-oriented processing, or use an existing in-memory representation.
