How to Convert XML to C# Classes - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your XML Schema

Start by adding your XML data that needs to be converted to C# classes. The tool analyzes the structure to generate appropriate POCOs.

Example: Try This XML Data

Copy and paste this XML example to see how it works: 💜

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<order>
  <customer id="C001">
    <name>Isabella Thompson</name>
    <email>isabella.thompson@example.com</email>
    <phone>+1-555-0123</phone>
    <isPremium>true</isPremium>
  </customer>
  <orderDetails>
    <orderId>ORD-2024-001</orderId>
    <orderDate>2024-01-15</orderDate>
    <totalAmount>299.99</totalAmount>
    <currency>USD</currency>
  </orderDetails>
</order>
Step 2

Configure C# Options

Customize how your XML is converted to C# classes! ⚙️ Choose attributes and naming conventions.

•
XML serialization attributes: Generate XML serialization attributes
•
POCO generation: Create clean C# POCOs with properties
•
Nested classes: Handle complex XML hierarchies with nested types
•
Type mapping: Automatic C# type mapping from XML data types
Step 3

Get Generated C# Code

Watch the transformation! ✨ Your XML structure becomes clean, attributed C# classes.

C# Code Output

Your XML becomes these C# classes:

using System.Xml.Serialization;

[XmlRoot("order")]
public class Order
{
    [XmlElement("customer")]
    public Customer Customer { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("orderDetails")]
    public OrderDetails OrderDetails { get; set; }
}

public class Customer
{
    [XmlAttribute("id")]
    public string Id { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("name")]
    public string Name { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("email")]
    public string Email { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("phone")]
    public string Phone { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("isPremium")]
    public bool IsPremium { get; set; }
}
Step 4

Copy or Download C# Code

Perfect! Now you can use your C# classes in your applications for XML processing. 🚀

•
Copy to clipboard for immediate use in your C# projects
•
Download .cs files for integration into your solution
•
Use with frameworks like ASP.NET Core and WPF
•
.NET applications and web services

What is XML to C# Conversion? 🔄

XML to C# conversion transforms XML schemas into C# classes with XML serialization attributes for seamless data binding. This process analyzes XML structure and generates C# POCOs that can serialize and deserialize XML data, making it easy to work with XML in .NET applications.

The generated C# classes include proper properties, XML serialization attributes, and type mappings, enabling automatic XML serialization and deserialization in .NET applications and web services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of C# classes are generated from XML?

The tool generates C# POCOs (Plain Old CLR Objects) with XML serialization attributes like [XmlRoot], [XmlElement], and [XmlAttribute]. These classes include proper properties with getters/setters and can automatically serialize/deserialize XML data in .NET applications.

Can the generated C# classes handle nested XML structures?

Yes! The tool automatically creates nested C# classes for complex XML hierarchies. Each nested XML element becomes a separate class with proper relationships, making it easy to work with complex XML documents in your C# applications.

Are the generated classes compatible with ASP.NET Core?

Absolutely! The generated C# classes work perfectly with ASP.NET Core Web APIs, MVC controllers, and can be used for XML serialization in HTTP responses. They're also compatible with Entity Framework and other .NET frameworks.

How does the tool handle XML attributes vs elements?

XML attributes are converted to C# properties with [XmlAttribute] annotations, while XML elements become properties with [XmlElement] annotations. This ensures proper serialization behavior and maintains the original XML structure when converting back to XML.

Can I use these classes with SOAP web services?

Yes! The generated C# classes with XML serialization attributes are perfect for SOAP web services, WCF services, and any XML-based communication. They handle marshaling and unmarshaling automatically in service operations.

Is the XML to C# converter free and unlimited?

Yes, completely free with no restrictions on XML complexity, file size, or usage frequency. Generate unlimited C# classes from XML schemas without registration, and download the generated code files for immediate use in your .NET projects.
