XAML Parser

The tool analyzes XAML source to produce a machine-readable representation of its structure. It identifies elements, attributes, and namespaces, building a hierarchical model that can be exported as JSON for tooling, testing, or documentation. This supports scenarios such as code audits, migration planning, and automated validation within build pipelines. The parser accounts for common dialects used in WPF, UWP, and Xamarin.Forms, providing consistent output across platforms. The process is non-destructive and suitable for large codebases.
Conceptually, the input XAML is parsed into a tree, namespaces are resolved, and each node is annotated with its path and properties. The resulting JSON reveals parent-child relationships, attribute mappings, and any namespace hints that affect interpretation. Optional options allow depth-limited traversal or a compact representation for efficient downstream consumption.
This tool is valuable to developers, QA engineers, and automation engineers who need a dependable, repeatable view of UI definitions without requiring a local XAML parser installation. The unique value lies in its platform-agnostic JSON output, deterministic traversal order, and explicit diagnostics that facilitate rapid debugging and integration.
Core features include schema-aware validation, element-path generation, attribute extraction, and the capability to export either a full tree or a summarized view suitable for documentation and comparison tasks.
