Changelog: 20.5 (2020-05-02)¶
Updated codegen cli to accept multiple definitions or directories as argument.
Update ClassBuilder to recursively search for anonymous types.
Updated XmlParser to be thread-safe.
Added performance tweaks on XmlParser.

Fixed ClassAnalyzer to recover/ignore missing types.
Why naive?
The W3C XML Schema offers so much flexibility and abstraction layers and grammatical rules to support practically any xml document definition.
Integration teams and clients don’t care about any of that, take out abstraction and flexibility and you are left with lean named data structures with typed attributes and a namespace for humans to read!
