ToXgene: A template-based data generator for XML

Summary: ToXgene is a template-based XML data generator enabling declarative, scalable creation of large, consistent XML collections. It supports complex XML content and benchmark-style constraints, producing synthetic datasets that closely reproduce Xmark and TPC-H benchmarks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
