Buy me a coffeeWhat is XML to Java Converter?
This converter parses an XML document and generates Java POJO classes annotated for JAXB (Jakarta XML Binding). Attributes become @XmlAttribute fields, child elements become @XmlElement fields, and repeated sibling elements become List<T> fields. Nested XML structures produce nested Java classes.
How to Use XML to Java Converter
Paste XML into the input panel.
Set a root class name (optional — defaults to XML root tag).
Set a package name if needed.
Toggle JAXB annotations and List<T> vs array for repeated elements.
Copy the generated Java code.
Common Use Cases
- Generating Java models for XML REST or SOAP API responses.
- Scaffolding JAXB classes for XML configuration file parsing.
- Creating Java DTOs for an XML data feed.
- Producing model classes before writing Jakarta XML Binding code.
Example Input and Output
An XML order with nested customer and repeated items becomes Java POJO classes.
<order id="A1"><customer><name>Alice</name></customer><item><sku>BK1</sku><qty>2</qty></item></order>@XmlRootElement(name = "order")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class Order {
@XmlAttribute(name = "id")
private String id;
@XmlElement(name = "customer")
private Customer customer;
}Tip
Add the jakarta.xml.bind:jakarta.xml.bind-api Maven dependency and an implementation like glassfish JAXB RI to use the generated classes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is JAXB?
JAXB (Jakarta XML Binding, formerly Java Architecture for XML Binding) is a standard Java API for mapping XML to Java objects and back.
How are repeated elements handled?
Repeated sibling elements with the same tag name become List<T> fields when the List option is enabled.
Is the XML sent to a server?
No. All XML parsing and Java class generation happen in your browser.
