docs XML Schema Definition Tool (Xsd.exe) source code

Is it possible to get the source code for XSD.exe ? I am in the process of migrating a WCF application to REST and .NET core - and the ability to generate classes that de/serialize to both JSON and XML is required. I have succeeded in doing this by hand (a huge effort) - but it would be extremely useful to have a tool like XSD.exe to generate the combined JSON / XML classes from the existing XSD files. I am writing such a tool using c# - but it is re-inventing the wheel - source code for XSD.EXE would be very useful to me.

Thanks

I'm working on a workaround. I just want to join the group, for now.
