XML to C++ Converter

Generate typed C++ structs from XML samples when your native SDK, desktop app, or import pipeline still consumes document-style payloads.

How to use

  1. Paste a representative XML document that mirrors the feed or contract your C++ code still parses.
  2. Review the generated structs, STL field types, and nested child models inferred from repeated XML nodes and element groups.
  3. Copy the output into your native project and layer serializer adapters, parser glue, or domain wrappers where production code needs them.

Benefits

  • Produces readable native structs for XML-backed SDK and desktop workflows without starting from a blank header.
  • Keeps repeated nodes and nested XML elements explicit for parser and import code.
  • Helps C++ teams document document-style XML contracts before adding custom serialization logic.

Best use cases

  • Native SDKs that still consume XML partner feeds or document-style configuration payloads.
  • Desktop and internal tools that import XML exports into typed C++ transport models.
  • Systems teams replacing manual node traversal with explicit struct scaffolding before parser hardening.

C++ XML tips

  • Review collection shapes, string ownership expectations, and integer widths before promoting generated structs into stable transport contracts.
  • Keep parser-specific adapters outside the generated model layer when the same structs need to serve multiple XML sources.
  • Choose the cJSON C route only when the target stack is plain C rather than modern C++ with STL types.

Sample XML

<user>
  <id>101</id>
  <name>Ada Lovelace</name>
  <active>true</active>
  <roles>
    <role>admin</role>
    <role>editor</role>
  </roles>
  <profile>
    <email>ada@example.com</email>
    <score>9.8</score>
  </profile>
</user>

Sample output

#include <string>
#include <vector>

struct UserModel {
  int id;
  std::string name;
  bool active;
  std::vector<std::string> roles;
};

FAQ

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.

Does this route handle nested XML documents and repeated nodes?

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