Bootstrapping XML schema definitions with Claude Opus 4.6: A case study (the good, the bad, and the ugly)

I wish we had this generator when we set out to code OPC XML-DA client. SOAP isn’t going to die anytime soon. Without Claude, @nikita-volkov tediously defined the schema by hand (check out the xml dependencies in that project!) Notably, the corresponding Python project we aimed to replace generated parts of the API from a WSDL description back in 2006. I guess such a task is much simpler if one does not care about type safety.
