Re: [xml-dev] XML DTD/XSD parser library sought
In article <> you write:

You could use RXP for this.  It should be able to handle any legal
DTD.  It represents content models as C structures in a fairly
straightforward way:

enum cp_type {
    CP_pcdata, CP_name, CP_seq, CP_choice
};
typedef enum cp_type CPType;

struct content_particle {
    enum cp_type type;
    char repetition;
    const Char *name;
    ElementDefinition element;
    int nchildren;
    struct content_particle **children;
};

It doesn't have much documentation, unfortunately.
