XML to Ruby Converter

How to use

1. Paste a representative XML document that matches the feed, partner response, or document shape your Ruby code still uses.
2. Review the generated classes, `attr_accessor` fields, and initializer arguments inferred from nested XML elements and repeated nodes.
3. Copy the output into your Rails app or Ruby service and refine module names, coercion, or parser glue where needed.

Benefits

• Produces Ruby PORO transport models that are easier to maintain than scattered hash-like XML parsing output.
• Keeps XML-backed contracts readable for Rails services, jobs, and integration clients.
• Works well as a lightweight DTO layer before richer domain behavior or serializer logic is added.

Best use cases

• Rails services that still consume XML feeds or partner responses and want PORO transport models.
• Ruby scripts and background jobs that repeatedly parse structured XML documents.
• Teams replacing ad hoc XML adapters with explicit Ruby classes for payload handling and test fixtures.

Ruby XML tips

• Treat generated Ruby classes as PORO transport models and add validations or coercion separately if needed.
• Review optional sections and repeated nodes against real XML samples before treating initializer fields as stable.
• Keep generated classes in a dedicated DTO or serializers folder when they should stay separate from business logic.

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

class UserModel
  attr_accessor :id, :name, :active, :roles

  def initialize(id:, name:, active:, roles:)
    @id = id
    @name = name
    @active = active
    @roles = roles
  end
end
