Why use XML to C++ instead of JSON to C++?
Choose XML to C++ when the source payload is XML and the generated structs need to reflect repeated nodes and nested document structure instead of JSON object conventions.
Generate typed C++ structs from XML samples when your native SDK, desktop app, or import pipeline still consumes document-style payloads.

Yes. Nested XML elements become child structs, and repeated nodes are inferred into collection fields based on the parsed XML sample.
