How to Convert Go to XML - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your Go Code

Start by pasting your Go struct literal or data structure that needs to be converted to XML format. Perfect for SOAP services and data exchange.

•
Paste Go code: Copy your Go struct literal directly into the editor
•
Upload a file: Load Go code from a .go file on your computer
•
Try samples: Click sample buttons to see different Go patterns
Step 2

Click Convert Button

Click the blue "Convert" button to transform your Go code to XML. Our backend API converts Go syntax to proper XML format with correct structure and escaping.

•
XML declaration: Includes proper XML version and encoding declaration
•
Character escaping: Automatically escapes special XML characters (<, >, &)
•
Struct support: Go structs convert to XML nested elements
•
Slice support: Go slices convert to multiple XML elements
•
Custom root element: Configurable root element name for your XML
Step 3

Get Valid XML Output

The tool produces properly formatted, valid XML that's ready to use in SOAP services, REST APIs, and any XML-based data exchange.

Step 4

Copy or Download XML

Copy the XML to your clipboard or download it as an .xml file for use in your Go projects, SOAP services, or API integrations.

What is Go to XML Conversion?

Go to XML conversion transforms Go data structures like structs, slices, and maps into hierarchical XML format. This process is essential for SOAP web services, REST APIs, RSS feeds, and data exchange between systems.

The conversion is perfect for integrating with legacy systems and enterprise applications that use XML. Using encoding/xml in Go applications allows seamless serialization, and this tool helps visualize that output. You can also convert to other formats like Go to JSON or Go to YAML using our related tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert Go struct to XML?

Simply paste your Go struct literal into the converter and click the Convert button. It will automatically convert Go syntax to valid XML format with proper structure and character escaping.

Does the converter handle nested Go structures?

Yes! The converter properly handles nested structs, slices, and maps, converting them to equivalent XML nested elements. Perfect for complex SOAP payloads and hierarchical data.

What Go data types are supported?

The converter supports Go structs, slices, arrays, maps, strings, numbers (int, int64, float64, etc.), booleans (true/false), and pointers. These are converted to their XML equivalents following the XML specification.

Can I use the generated XML in SOAP services?

Yes! The converter produces standard, well-formed XML that works perfectly with SOAP web services, REST APIs, and any other system that uses XML for data exchange.

How does this relate to encoding/xml in Go?

This tool provides a visual representation of what xml.Marshal() would produce when serializing your Go structs. It helps you preview XML output before implementing serialization in your Go code with the encoding/xml package.

Is the Go to XML converter free?

Yes, completely free with no limitations. Perfect for Go developers working with SOAP services and XML APIs. No registration required.
