I created this to make the process of adding custom operation commands a little easier by streamlining the creation of the necessary XML structure.

Usage key:

Command separator - //

• This will be used to separate commands. For instanace, if you wanted the VyOS command to be "show device detail", you would type show//device//detail

Node Types:

• If you type a normal word, it will default to a normal node
• tagNode: Encapsulate the word in <>. Example: 'show//<device>//detail' will make 'device' a tagNode, and make the actual command "show device <name of device> detail"
• leafNode: Start the name with a '!' to define the value as a leafNode. Example: 'show//<device>//!detail' will make the node types in order node/tagNode/leafNode

Calling values under a node:

• '@': The use of the '@' operator attached to a node name tells the script that there will be values directly within that nodes hierarchy. Example: 'show//device@properties'
• ':': The use of the ':' operator denotes the value before it should be directly under the node. Example: 'show//device@properties:' will add directly under the 'device' node.
• ',': The use of the ',' operator allows you to separate additional values that are being added: Example: 'show//device@properties:help,moreHelp'
• '=": The use of the '=' operator allows a value to be added to the item you're defining: Example: 'show//device@properties:help=Show Devices'

Usage Examples:

show firewall ipv4 detail (basic outline) - show//firewall//ipv4//detail

Enter your command: show//firewall//ipv4//detail
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<interfaceDefinition>
  <node name="show">
    <children>
      <node name="firewall">
        <children>
          <node name="ipv4">
            <children>
              <node name="detail"/>
            </children>
          </node>
        </children>
      </node>
    </children>
  </node>
</interfaceDefinition>

show firewall ipv4 detail (with helpers and detail as leafNode) - show//firewall@properties:help=Show firewall information//ipv4@properties:help=Show IPv4 firewall//!detail@properties:help=Show list view of IPv4 forward filter firewall rules:completionHelp:path=firewall ipv4 forward filter rule detail@command:=insert some command
