XML to Kotlin Converter

Generate Kotlin data classes from XML samples when your Android or JVM app still receives XML responses and needs explicit transport models.

How to use

  1. Paste a representative XML document that matches the feed, partner response, or document your Kotlin code actually parses.
  2. Review the generated data classes, nested child types, and inferred collection fields for repeated XML nodes.
  3. Copy the output into your Android or JVM project and refine nullability, package names, or serializer integration where production code needs it.

Benefits

  • Produces readable Kotlin transport models for XML-backed integrations without hand-writing nested DTO layers.
  • Keeps repeated XML nodes and nested elements explicit for Android and JVM apps.
  • Helps teams standardize legacy XML parsing around idiomatic Kotlin data classes.

Best use cases

  • Android apps that still receive XML responses from enterprise or legacy backend systems.
  • JVM services and batch jobs consuming partner XML feeds or scheduled document imports.
  • Teams scaffolding XML DTO layers before deciding on serializer-specific annotations.

XML Kotlin tips

  • Review nullability and collection defaults carefully when real XML payloads vary across environments.
  • Keep generated data classes close to the XML parsing layer that normalizes the feed for app code.
  • Choose the JSON to Kotlin route only when the source payload is JSON rather than XML-backed data.

Implementation tips

  • Review nullability for fields that may be missing from responses.
  • Keep generated models near network DTO layers.
  • Use naming conventions that match your existing Kotlin style guides.

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

data class UserModel(
  @JsonProperty("id") val id: Int,
  @JsonProperty("name") val name: String,
  @JsonProperty("active") val active: Boolean
)

FAQ

Why use XML to Kotlin instead of JSON to Kotlin?

Choose XML to Kotlin when the source payload is XML and the generated classes need to reflect nested elements, repeated nodes, and document-style structure rather than JSON objects and arrays.

Does this route support repeated XML nodes?

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