This is actually included in Delphi 7 Enterprise. Not sure if it is in
D6 already.

It is called the XML Data Binding Wizard (not to be mixed up with the
XML mapper which will map to a database).

You can find the Wizard under File->New->XML Data Binding.

It takes an XML or DTD or XSD file and creates a .pas file with an
object representation based on IXMLNode.

Really a very handy tool! I miss it in D8 (haven't really digged
through all the .Net classes though).
