Generating XML Data for XPath Queries

Currently there exists a number of tools for generating synthetic XML data. But in this paper we approach this problem from a completely new direction. We propose a generator which enables to generate synthetic XML data with regards to a given set of XML queries expressed in XPath. Thus we enable versatility of the output, its applicability for a particular situation, and, at the same time, simplicity of input parameters. We have implemented a prototype of the generator, further optimized its performance, and experimentally demonstrated its properties.
