What Is XML to Go?

Writing Go structs by hand for every XML response is tedious — especially when the schema has twenty nested elements. Go's encoding/xml package is powerful, but it needs struct fields with the right xml:"tagname" annotations. This tool reads your XML, figures out the element hierarchy, and spits out a complete Go struct definition with the correct tags. Paste the output directly into your project, call xml.Unmarshal, and you're done. The W3C XML specification defines the format; everything runs in your browser via the DOMParser API. Nothing is sent to a server.

How to Use This Tool

1

Paste or Upload XML

Paste XML or upload a file. Set struct name, package, and XML tags in the config.

2

Review Go Output

The right panel shows generated structs. Use xml.Unmarshal to parse XML into these types.

3

Copy or Download

Use Copy or Download. For formatting XML first, use XML Formatter. For JSON conversion, use XML to JSON.

When XML to Go Helps

When building Go services that consume SOAP, RSS, or XML APIs, generate structs here. Use encoding/xml to unmarshal. The W3C XML spec defines the format.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the generated Go structs with encoding/xml?

Copy the generated structs into your Go file, import encoding/xml, then call xml.Unmarshal(data, &myStruct). For HTTP responses, use xml.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&myStruct).

Should I enable XML tags on struct fields?

Yes, in almost all cases. Enable XML Tags in the config panel. The generator adds xml:"tagname" annotations, which tell encoding/xml exactly which element maps to which field — essential when element names don't match Go naming conventions.

Can I use this for SOAP service clients?

Yes. Paste the SOAP response XML (the body, not the envelope) and generate structs. For full SOAP support including envelope and header handling, see the Go docs and consider a SOAP library.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. The generation runs entirely in your browser using the DOMParser API. Your XML never leaves your machine.

What if my XML has attributes?

XML attributes become struct fields annotated with xml:"attrname,attr". The generator handles attributes automatically when XML tags are enabled.
