XML to Go Converter

Generate tagged Go structs from XML samples when your service layer needs parser-friendly transport models for XML feeds or partner integrations.

How to use

  1. Paste a representative XML document that matches the response, feed, or import file your Go service actually parses.
  2. Review the generated structs, nested types, and collection fields derived from repeated XML nodes.
  3. Copy the structs into your Go project and adapt tags or parser glue for the XML library and transport layer you use in production.

Benefits

  • Produces Go transport structs that are easier to maintain than repeated XML traversal logic.
  • Keeps repeated XML nodes and nested elements explicit for services, jobs, and integration pipelines.
  • Gives Go teams a strong typed starting point before layering custom XML parsing behavior.

Best use cases

  • Go services consuming XML feeds, SOAP-adjacent integrations, or scheduled partner exports.
  • Background jobs that ingest XML and convert it into internal transport objects before normalization.
  • Teams that want typed XML model scaffolding before hand-writing parser glue and validation.

XML Go tips

  • Review field names, collection shapes, and zero-value behavior before treating generated structs as stable ingestion contracts.
  • Add XML-library-specific tags or custom unmarshalling later if your parser conventions differ from the generated baseline.
  • Keep transport structs separate from domain models when the feed shape is noisier than the app-level object model.

Implementation tips

  • Review acronym capitalization for idiomatic Go names.
  • Confirm numeric types for large identifiers or decimals.
  • Place generated structs in dedicated model packages.

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

type UserModel struct {
  Id      int      `json:"id"`
  Name    string   `json:"name"`
  Active  bool     `json:"active"`
  Roles   []string `json:"roles"`
}

FAQ

Why use XML to Go instead of JSON to Go Struct?

Choose XML to Go when the source contract is XML and you need structs that reflect repeated nodes and nested element groups rather than JSON object and array conventions.

Can this route handle repeated XML nodes?

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