Buy me a coffeeWhat is XML to Go Converter?
This converter parses XML into a structured object and feeds that shape into the existing Go struct generator. It preserves nested elements, repeated sibling elements, optional attributes, and inferred scalar values so the generated structs are a useful starting point for Go XML or JSON handling.
How to Use XML to Go Converter
Paste XML into the input panel.
Set a root struct name or leave it blank to use the XML root.
Choose package name and struct options.
Toggle attributes and scalar inference.
Copy the generated Go code.
Common Use Cases
- Creating Go structs from XML API samples.
- Documenting XML feeds in a Go service.
- Scaffolding model structs before adding xml tags manually.
- Comparing XML and JSON model shapes in Go.
Example Input and Output
A repeated XML item element becomes a Go slice field.
<order><item><quantity>2</quantity></item></order>type Order struct {
Item []Item `json:"item"`
}
type Item struct {
Quantity int `json:"quantity"`
}Tip
For production XML decoding in Go, review the generated structs and add encoding/xml tags that match your document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this add Go xml tags?
This generator reuses the existing Go struct engine, which emits json tags. Treat the output as a model starting point and adjust tags to xml when needed.
How are arrays detected?
Repeated sibling elements with the same XML name become slices in the generated Go struct.
Can attributes be disabled?
Yes. Turn off XML attributes if you only want child element data represented in the structs.
Is the conversion private?
Yes. XML parsing and Go generation happen in your browser.
