I want to know if it's possible to create a class diagram from an XML file?
I have a code generator created by my self which reads the properties from an XML file and creates my classes. Is it possible to create a class diagram too?
I think there may be a way in soft wares like Visual Paradigm to import an XML file with a specific format to create a class diagram from.
Do you have any Idea?

You could parse the XML and output the details in a string format defined by YUML for class diagrams.

Is it possible to do it in a more common software like: visual paradigm, rational rose,visio,etc... – ehsan shirzadi Dec 18 '13 at 09:48

I'm suggest you generate a java source file from XML and then let the tools like visual paradigm generate the class diagram from the source then. – emeraldjava Dec 18 '13 at 10:26
