How to Convert XML to Java Classes - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your XML Schema

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

Example: Try This XML Data

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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<company>
  <employee id="E001">
    <firstName>Rajesh</firstName>
    <lastName>Kumar</lastName>
    <department>Software Engineering</department>
    <salary>95000</salary>
    <isActive>true</isActive>
    <address>
      <street>123 Tech Boulevard</street>
      <city>Bangalore</city>
      <zipCode>560001</zipCode>
    </address>
  </employee>
</company>
Step 2

Configure Java Options

Customize how your XML is converted to Java classes! ⚙️ Choose annotations and code style preferences.

JAXB annotations: Generate JAXB annotations for XML binding
POJO generation: Create clean Java POJOs with getters and setters
Nested classes: Handle complex XML hierarchies with inner classes
Type mapping: Automatic Java type mapping from XML data types
Step 3

Get Generated Java Code

Watch the transformation! ✨ Your XML structure becomes clean, annotated Java classes.

Java Code Output

Your XML becomes these Java classes:

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlRootElement(name = "company")
public class Company {
    @XmlElement
    private Employee employee;

    // Getters and setters...
}

public class Employee {
    @XmlAttribute
    private String id;

    @XmlElement
    private String firstName;

    @XmlElement
    private String lastName;

    @XmlElement
    private String department;

    @XmlElement
    private Double salary;

    @XmlElement
    private Boolean isActive;

    @XmlElement
    private Address address;

    // Getters and setters...
}
Step 4

What is XML to Java Conversion? 🔄

XML to Java conversion transforms XML schemas into Java classes with JAXB annotations for seamless XML binding. This process analyzes XML structure and generates Java POJOs that can marshal and unmarshal XML data, making it easy to work with XML in Java applications.

The generated Java classes include proper getters/setters, JAXB annotations, and type mappings, enabling automatic XML serialization and deserialization in Java applications and web services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Java annotations are included in the generated classes?

The tool generates Java classes with JAXB annotations including @XmlRootElement, @XmlElement, @XmlAttribute, and @XmlType. These annotations enable automatic XML marshaling and unmarshaling in Java applications, making XML processing seamless and type-safe.

Are the generated Java classes compatible with Spring Boot?

Yes! The generated Java POJOs work perfectly with Spring Boot applications, REST controllers, and can be used for XML serialization in HTTP responses. They integrate seamlessly with Spring's XML message converters and data binding features.

How does the tool handle complex XML hierarchies?

Complex XML structures are converted to nested Java classes with proper relationships. Each XML element becomes a Java class with appropriate JAXB annotations, maintaining the hierarchical structure and enabling easy navigation through the object model.

Can I use these classes with JAX-RS web services?

Absolutely! The generated Java classes with JAXB annotations are perfect for JAX-RS web services. They can be used as request/response objects in REST endpoints and will automatically handle XML serialization and deserialization.

What Java versions are the generated classes compatible with?

The generated Java classes are compatible with Java 8 and higher versions. They use standard JAXB annotations that work with both Oracle JDK and OpenJDK, and are compatible with modern Java frameworks and application servers.

Is the XML to Java converter completely free?

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