XSD structure

Question

Hi,
I want to create form designer using XSD document. The idea is like load XSD file, retrieve the structure, display structure in some ui and allow user to select elements
and place in designer window.
Hence I want to retrieve tree structure from XSD file. The XSD may contain any possible elements, types as defined in W3C Schema.
Is anyone aware of any API that can help to get the structure.
For more details refer following xsd
<?xml version=...?>
<schema....>
<element name="person">
<complexType>
<all>
<element name="firstName" type="string"></element>
<element name="lastName" type="string"></element>
<element name="company" type="tns:companyType"></element>
</all>
</complexType>
</element>
<complexType name="companyType">
<all>
<element name="name" type="string"></element>
<element name="address" type="string"></element>
<element name="zipcode" type="string"></element>
</all>
</complexType></schema>
The output will be similar to following
person
-firstName
-lastName
-company
-name
-address
-zipcode

Forgot to mention DOM parser will not help me. You know how complex XSD can be, the example i have given is very hypothetical.
The elements and its types can be nested by any hierarachy.Huh?
An XSD is a valid XML file. By definition.
Thus DOM can very assuredly create and parse an XSD. Along with anything else that can deal with XML in general way.
