It turns WSDL 1.1 and XML Schema definitions into Go code and includes a SOAP proxy/client layer for the generated types. ### Project history The repository history starts in December 2013 with early work on CLI wiring, WSDL and schema resolution, code generation, and SOAP proxy support. The README states the goal as generating idiomatic Go code while supporting Document/Literal wrapped services, WSDL 1.1, XML Schema 1.0, SOAP 1.1, and local or external WSDL files. ### Adoption history gowsdl occupies a niche in the Go ecosystem for teams that still need to integrate with SOAP endpoints. Its README documents binary releases, `go get` or `go install`, and Homebrew installation, making it easy to use as a project-local generator or a package-manager-installed CLI. ### How it is used A typical invocation is `gowsdl [options] myservice.wsdl`, with flags for output file, generated package name, TLS verification behavior for fetching WSDLs, and version output. The README cautions that generated code reflects the source WSDL, so duplicated or awkward service definitions can carry through into Go. ### Why package nerds care The package is interesting because it packages an enterprise interoperability workflow as a small Go CLI: SOAP and WSDL are legacy-heavy, but Go users can install a generator from source, GitHub releases, or Homebrew and check generated code into normal Go projects. ### Timeline - 2013: Repository history begins with the initial commit. - 2015: v0.1.0 tag appears in the repository history. - 2018: v0.3.0 includes README updates and Homebrew installation instructions in its release notes. - 2021: v0.5.0 tag appears in the repository history. ### Related projects - SOAP 1.1, WSDL 1.1, XML Schema 1.0, and WS-I Document/Literal wrapped service conventions are the standards surface that gowsdl targets. - The Go toolchain provides the build and install path used by the project. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** gowsdl - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [counterfeiter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/counterfeiter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [go-bindata](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go-bindata/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [goctl](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/goctl/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [gomodifytags](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gomodifytags/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [hz](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/hz/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [ifacemaker](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ifacemaker/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [mockery](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mockery/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. - [protoc-gen-go-grpc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/protoc-gen-go-grpc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-generation, developer-tools, go. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
