How to Convert XML to F# Record Types - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your XML Schema

Start by adding your XML data that needs to be converted to F# record types. The tool analyzes the structure to generate appropriate F# modules with immutable records and functional programming patterns.

Example: Try This XML Data

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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<financial-report id="FIN-2024-Q1" period="quarterly">
  <company>
    <name>TechCorp Solutions</name>
    <ticker>TECH</ticker>
    <sector>Technology</sector>
    <founded>2010</founded>
    <is-public>true</is-public>
  </company>
  <financials>
    <revenue currency="USD">15750000.50</revenue>
    <net-income currency="USD">3449999.75</net-income>
    <growth-rate>12.5</growth-rate>
  </financials>
</financial-report>
Step 2

Configure F# Options

Customize how your XML is converted to F# record types! ⚙️ Choose functional programming patterns and .NET integration options.

•
Immutable records: Generate record types with immutability and structural equality
•
JSON serialization: Automatic JSON conversion with Newtonsoft.Json integration
•
Option types: Built-in option types for nullable fields following F# best practices
•
XML parsing: Integration with System.Xml.Linq for robust XML processing
Step 3

Get Generated F# Code

Watch the transformation! ✨ Your XML structure becomes immutable, functional F# record types.

F# Code Output

Your XML becomes these F# record types:

open System
open System.Xml.Linq
open Newtonsoft.Json

type FinancialReport = {
    Id: string option
    Period: string option
    Company: Company option
    Financials: Financials option
}

module FinancialReport =
    // Parse FinancialReport from XML
    let parseFinancialReport (element: XElement) : FinancialReport = {
        Id = getAttribute "id" element
        Period = getAttribute "period" element
        Company = getElement "company" element |> Option.map parseCompany
    }

    // Convert to JSON
    let financialReportToJson (record: FinancialReport) : string =
        JsonConvert.SerializeObject(record)
Step 4

Copy or Download F# Code

Perfect! Now you can use your F# record types in your applications for XML processing. 🚀

•
Copy to clipboard for immediate use in your F# projects
•
Download .fs files for integration into your .NET project
•
Use with frameworks like Giraffe, FSharp.Data, and ASP.NET Core
•
Functional applications with immutability and type safety on .NET platform

What is XML to F# Conversion? 🔄

XML to F# conversion transforms XML schemas into F# record types with immutable properties and functional programming patterns. This process analyzes XML structure and generates F# modules that can serialize and deserialize XML data, making it easy to work with XML in type-safe F# applications on the .NET platform.

The generated F# record types include option types for nullable fields, automatic JSON serialization with Newtonsoft.Json, XML parsing functions with System.Xml.Linq integration, immutable data structures with structural equality, and functional programming patterns that leverage F#'s powerful type system and .NET interoperability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What F# features are included in the generated record types?

The tool generates F# record types with immutable properties, option types for nullable fields, automatic JSON serialization with Newtonsoft.Json, XML parsing functions with System.Xml.Linq integration, structural equality, and functional programming patterns that work seamlessly with the .NET ecosystem.

Are the generated F# types compatible with .NET and ASP.NET Core?

Yes! The generated F# record types work perfectly with .NET libraries, ASP.NET Core controllers, and can be used as type-safe models in web applications. They integrate seamlessly with C# projects and provide compile-time guarantees for data integrity across the .NET platform.

How does the tool handle complex XML hierarchies in F#?

Complex XML structures are converted to nested F# record types with proper relationships. Each XML element becomes a record type with appropriate fields and types, maintaining the hierarchical structure and enabling easy pattern matching and functional transformations with strong type safety and immutability.

Can I use these types with FSharp.Data for XML processing?

Absolutely! The generated F# record types work well with FSharp.Data and System.Xml.Linq for XML processing. You can use them to parse XML documents and automatically create F# values from XML data using functional programming approaches and type-safe transformations.

What F# naming conventions are used in the generated code?

The tool follows F# naming conventions: record type names use PascalCase, field names use PascalCase, and module names follow F# standards. XML attributes and elements are automatically converted to proper F# naming conventions with option types for optional fields and strong type safety.

Is the XML to F# converter completely free?

Yes, completely free with no restrictions on XML complexity, file size, or usage frequency. Generate unlimited F# record types from XML schemas without registration, and download the complete F# source code for immediate integration into your .NET projects.
