Is there a Relaxer for .NET? Is Relaxer alive? Is RelaxNG viable? [closed]

问题

I read about Relaxer, the thing that compiles .RNG to Java classes. BBut the website, http://www.relaxer.org/, is dead.

Q1:
Is Relaxer alive? Is it real, does it work? Is it reasonable to generate Java classes from .RNG?

Q2:
Is there a Relaxer for .NET? Is there a tool that generates C# classes from RelaxNG schema?

Q3: Is there a Relaxer for Javascript?

AND, finally

Q4:
Is RelaxNG alive? Is it viable? Relevant and useful in the REST/JSON world? Are people still using it or is it going to fade, a good idea that has been dropped? I know that is subjective, but I'd like to know your assessment. I see only 9 or 10 RelaxNG Q's on stackoverflow, so I question the relevance of this technology. If not RelaxNG, then what? WADL? Nothing?

See Maintaining Consistency Between JavaScript and C# Object Models for a related question.

Just use Mono's RelaxngValidatingReader.

I've made a NuGet Package by compiling the Mono Commons.Xml.Relaxng project.

PS: I use this in production for some AlpineBits projects.

XmlReader instance = new XmlTextReader ("instance.xml");
XmlReader grammar = new XmlTextReader ("grammar.rng");
using (RelaxngValidatingReader reader = new RelaxngValidatingReader (instance, grammar)) {
    try {
        while (!reader.EOF) {
            reader.Read();
        }
        Console.WriteLine("validation succeeded");
    }
    catch (Exception ex) {
        Console.WriteLine("validation failed with message:");
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

Rather than let this question hang out here unanswered forever, and going on the theory that no answer at all is actually a pretty definitive answer, I'm going to provide a response myself.

The answers:

No, by all indications, Relaxer is not alive.
There is no Relaxer for .NET
There is no Relaxer for Javascript
RelaxNG is apparently ~~also dead~~ still alive, just looking deadish as it is stable, but it is used quite a lot as alternative to XSD. A recent addition was RelaxNG validation in Saxon for XQuery and XSLT done by Charles Foster.
There are a bunch of alternatives for RelaxNG validation in .NET, as mentioned in the comments and Martin's answer.
