Hi all, Just out of need, we needed a converter from XSD to Thrift and we have coded it in Java, using XSOM. It's available at http://github.com/tranchis/xsd2thrift
The way it's done, it would be really simple to encode the output for Protocol Buffers as well. If you think it might be interesting, let me know and I'll give it a try. Best, Sergio.
