What Is XML to PHP?

Anyone who has tried to parse a SOAP API response or an RSS feed in PHP knows the pain — you get a blob of XML and then manually write class properties one by one. This tool reads your XML document and generates a matching PHP class instantly, with optional typed properties (PHP 7.4+). You can add a namespace for Laravel or Symfony projects, then use SimpleXML or DOMDocument to populate it. Everything runs in the browser — nothing is sent to a server, so it is safe for production or internal XML.

When XML to PHP Helps

When building Laravel or Symfony apps that consume SOAP APIs, RSS feeds, or XML config, generate typed classes here. Use SimpleXML or DOMDocument to parse and populate.

Frequently Asked Questions

SimpleXML vs DOMDocument — which should I use?

SimpleXML is easier for read-only access to well-formed XML. DOMDocument supports full editing, XPath queries, and more complex structures. Both work with the classes this tool generates.

Does the generated PHP work with Laravel and Symfony?

Yes. You can set a namespace that matches your Laravel or Symfony app structure. The generated class is a plain PHP class — populate it after parsing with SimpleXML or DOMDocument.

Can I use typed properties in PHP 7.x?

Typed properties require PHP 7.4 or later. Disable the Typed Properties toggle if you are targeting an older version.

Is my XML sent to a server?

No. The class is generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data leaves your machine, so it is safe for production XML, internal APIs, or sensitive config files.

What if my XML has nested elements?

Nested elements are reflected as nested classes or typed properties in the output. Review the generated code and adjust for deeply nested or repeated elements as needed.
