Anyone know if I can get XSD files for the current set of Eve API returns? I want to generate bindings with JAXB and having accurate XSD files will be a huge help.

Best I could find are some outdated ones a player put together in 2007 or so.

Also, any chance we'll get at least a basic set of documentation instead of the top of page alert that it's out of date since before 2011 and not going to be supported soon.

If you desperately need some schemas, I could look into creating them for you but it'd be a fair bit of effort . I don't know if CCP maintain any internally but I'd guess not. (Creating XML schemas is my day job!)

Best place to look for API documentation is http://wiki.eve-id.net/APIv2_Page_Index which tends to be kept up-to-date by the community.

That's a really kind offer but that's not needed. I just wanted to see if an updated set of them existed already.

I think what I'll do is create a small java app that will work through the API calls and pull back a sample XML return
and generate the XSD from that.

If I end up doing this I'll try to post them to GitHub and notify folks here.

I grabbed what XML API returns I could and generated XSDs for these using a jar tool called xsd-gen.

I uploaded them all to a GitHub Repository HERE

Not all API returns current have an xsd file as I was only able to get examples for ones I have access to, so no corp returns for now. Feel free edit these and submit pull requests back as needed and as time goes on I'll add in more.
