I have a 1990 Ford F250 Pickup for sale. It is a 7.3 diesel, 4 wheel drive. I bought it just to haul firewood in 2007 with the odometer at 6000 — it now reads 15000. I don’t know how many hundreds should precede it, but for the 9000 miles I’ve had it, it’s been a great truck.

It’s an older diesel, and it’s always a pain to start. As long as I plug it in the night before I want to run it, it’s not an issue, but I don’t always want to put that much forethought into it. It’s likely that new glow plugs will fix this issue I just bought a newer truck.

Needs emergency brake pedal adjusted. The pedal is loose where it mounts to the frame under the dash. I did a fix once, and it’s still holding, but it can sometimes work its way out.

I custom built the bed, will sell without the bed on it for 2200 obo Will also consider trades with or without the bed.

Other work I’ve done includes replacing the front seats with bucket seats from an Explorer, Custom mirrors, replacing the range fork in the transfer case, new shocks on the rear, new front drive shaft, tie rods, all new valve cover and head gaskets. I also have new exhaust gaskets, but never installed them (was never leaking). I’ve also put a new seal in the rear axle on the driver’s side.

The fan switch went out on the heater, so I installed a switch to manually turn the fan on. The AC compressor has never been hooked up since I had the truck — I had no need for it, so I don’t know if it works or not.

The tires have less than 4000 miles on them, and the truck runs fantastically as long as you have time to be patient getting it started. The 4-wheel-drive is excellent, and overall the truck is in good working order.

The truck is located on Timber Ridge Rd between Gore, VA and Capon Bridge, WV. Comment if you want to set up a time to come look at it. It can be driven home, but I’ll need to know when you’re coming so I can have it plugged in before you get here.

First, it would generate a complete sample call for basically any API request for which the provide an XSD.  Second, it would give me XML that I could programmatically convert to a self-generating form if necessary.

After digging around the web, to my surprise I was unable to find an XSL already made that accomplishes this, so I set about making my own.

The resulting XSL is included below.

Please note that while this appears (as of this writing) to be 100% functional for what I need on Amazon, it does not cover all possible XSD configurations, so may need to be modified for more exotic XSDs.  Also, it’s possible (and quite likely) that the XML generated will not validate to the given XSD. This is because I had to find ways to pass value restriction meta data in a way that made sense in XML.

The two obvious points are nodes with enumerations in which the valid values are passed as <Value> subnodes and nodes with extendable attributes that had to be constructed in the way of other nodes.  In both cases, a flag is set as an attribute in the parent node.

If you make enhancements or fixes or if you find problems, feel free to let me know, and I will revise this.

The XSL is free for anyone to use, modify, etc. without restraint, but I’d certainly be happy to hear about it if it helps you out.

Here is the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
version="1.0"
>

<xsl:output method=”xml”/>

<!– Ignore nodes that may have text values as they will output directly otherwise –>
<xsl:template match=”*[not(xs:element) and not(xs:include)]” />

<!– Uncomment to process any included files inline–>
<!–
<xsl:template match=”//xs:include”>
<xsl:for-each select=”document(@schemaLocation)/xs:schema/xs:element”>
<xsl:call-template name=”element” />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
–>

<!– ######################
## XML ELEMENTS TEMPLATE ##
####################### –>

<xsl:template match=”/xs:schema/xs:element” name=”element”>

<xsl:choose>

<!– Node is referencing a base element – use that for the prototype either from this file or from any included files–>
<xsl:when test=”@ref”>
<xsl:variable name=”elementRef” select=”current()/@ref” />
<xsl:for-each select=”//xs:element[@name=$elementRef]“><xsl:call-template name=”element”/></xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select=”//xs:include”>
<xsl:for-each select=”document(@schemaLocation)//xs:element[@name=$elementRef]“><xsl:call-template name=”element”/></xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>

<!– The node is a standard element – output its XML Prototype –>
<xsl:otherwise>

<xsl:element name=”{@name}”>

<!– Carry all attributes through other than name (which is used for the element nodeName) and type (which we have to handle cases for) –>
<xsl:copy-of select=”@*[local-name() != 'name' and local-name() != 'type']” />

<!– Bring in any annotations for the element as a “note” attribute –>
<xsl:if test=”./xs:annotation/xs:documentation”>
<xsl:attribute name=”note”><xsl:value-of select=”./xs:annotation/xs:documentation” /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>

<xsl:choose>

<!– If there is a type attribute, it implies that it’s a complexType node and so we’ll be handling its subNodes independently –>
<xsl:when test=”contains(@type,’:')”>
<xsl:variable name=”elementType” select=”substring-after(@type,’:')” />
<xsl:for-each select=”//xs:complexType[@name=$elementType]“><xsl:call-template name=”complexType”/></xsl:for-each>

<xsl:for-each select=”//xs:include”>
<xsl:for-each select=”document(@schemaLocation)//xs:complexType[@name=$elementType]“><xsl:call-template name=”complexType”/></xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select=”document(@schemaLocation)//xs:simpleType[@name=$elementType]“><xsl:call-template name=”simpleType”/></xsl:for-each>

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>

<!– This is a direct element definition but it still may have inline definitions –>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:for-each select=”./xs:complexType”><xsl:call-template name=”complexType”/></xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select=”./xs:simpleType”><xsl:call-template name=”simpleType”/></xsl:for-each>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:element>

</xsl:template>

<!– ######################
## COMPLEX TYPE TEMPLATE ##
####################### –>

<xsl:template name=”complexType”>

<!– Pass along all attributes –>
<xsl:copy-of select=”@*[local-name() != 'name']” />

<!– If this complexType needs additional attributes, pass a way to use those –>
<xsl:if test=”./xs:simpleContent/xs:extension/xs:attribute”>

<!– Custom node to indicate that this is node has extended attributes –>
<xsl:attribute name=’isExtended’>1</xsl:attribute>

<!– Element is complexType because it’s an extends the attribute set of a simpleType –>

</xsl:if>

<!– Pass along all other attributes (other than @base) –>
<xsl:copy-of select=”./xs:simpleContent/xs:extension/@*[local-name() != 'base']” />

<!– Give a container for the actual value of the node –>
<xsl:element name=”NodeValue” />

<!– Show all attributes as sub nodes –>
<xsl:for-each select=”./xs:simpleContent/xs:extension/xs:attribute”>

<xsl:for-each select=”document(@schemaLocation)//xs:simpleType[@name=$elementType]“><xsl:call-template name=”simpleType” /></xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:if>

<!– Handle any sub nodes –>
<xsl:for-each select=”./xs:sequence/xs:element | ./xs:choice/xs:element”><xsl:call-template name=”element” /></xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

<!– #####################
## SIMPLE TYPE TEMPLATE ##

</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

<!– Pass all type attributes back –>
<xsl:copy-of select=”./@*[local-name() != 'name' and local-name() != 'id']” />

<!– Pass all non-enumeration nodes as attributes (minLength, etc.) –>
<xsl:for-each select=”./xs:restriction/*[local-name() != 'enumeration']“>
<xsl:attribute name=”{local-name()}”><xsl:value-of select=”@value” /></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:for-each>

<!– If enumerations exist, pass an attribute indicating so and pass the values as sub nodes (must come last because it outputs XML directly as text) –>
<xsl:for-each select=”./xs:restriction/xs:enumeration”>
<xsl:if test=”position() = 1″><xsl:attribute name=”isList”>1</xsl:attribute></xsl:if>
<xsl:element name=”Value”><xsl:value-of select=”current()/@value” /></xsl:element>
</xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

@MudcatOakCliff Yeah it's easy to see things the way we want to, which is why it is dangerous to say anything at all. #
