Re: [xsl] Do you have XSLT code that converts a Schema Component Model (SCM) to an XML instance document?

the tool to generate a SCM for an XML Schema that I have. Now I would like an
XSLT program which goes through the SCM and outputs an XML instance with
metadata, like this:

I don't remember something specific to XSLT and to SCM, but doesn't
oXygen have a menu item/function
(https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_editor/xml_schema_instance_generator.html)
to generate an instance document from an XSD schema? There also used to
be a .NET implementation of an instance generator. I think the .NET tool
was open source from Microsoft (for .NET framework?), I don't know what
oXygen uses under the hood, probably a Java tool, perhaps ask them
whether it is open-source or their own work as part of oXygen.
