How to Convert XML to Scala Case Classes - Step by Step Guide

Step 1

Input Your XML Schema

Start by adding your XML data that needs to be converted to Scala case classes. The tool analyzes the structure to generate appropriate Scala models with immutable properties and JSON serialization.

Example: Try This XML Data

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

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<microservice id="SVC-2024-001" version="3.2.1">
  <service-info>
    <name>UserAuthService</name>
    <description>Scala-based authentication microservice</description>
    <framework>Play Framework</framework>
    <scala-version>2.13.10</scala-version>
    <is-active>true</is-active>
  </service-info>
  <database>
    <type>PostgreSQL</type>
    <host>localhost</host>
    <port>5432</port>
    <connection-pool-size>20</connection-pool-size>
  </database>
</microservice>
Step 2

Configure Scala Options

Customize how your XML is converted to Scala case classes! ⚙️ Choose functional programming patterns and serialization options.

•
Case classes: Generate immutable case classes with pattern matching support
•
JSON serialization: Automatic Play Framework JSON Reads/Writes with functional syntax
•
Option types: Built-in Option[T] for nullable fields following Scala best practices
•
XML parsing: Integration with scala-xml library support
Step 3

Get Generated Scala Code

Watch the transformation! ✨ Your XML structure becomes functional, immutable Scala case classes.

Scala Code Output

Your XML becomes these Scala case classes:

import scala.xml._
import play.api.libs.json._
import play.api.libs.functional.syntax._

case class Microservice(
  id: Option[String],
  version: Option[String],
  serviceInfo: Option[ServiceInfo],
  database: Option[Database]
)

object Microservice {
  // JSON serialization
  implicit val reads: Reads[Microservice] = (
    (JsPath \\ "id").readNullable[String] and
    (JsPath \\ "version").readNullable[String]
  )(Microservice.apply _)

  // Convert to JSON
  def toJson(instance: Microservice): JsValue = {
    Json.toJson(instance)
  }
}
Step 4

Copy or Download Scala Code

Perfect! Now you can use your Scala case classes in your applications for XML processing. 🚀

What is XML to Scala Conversion? 🔄

XML to Scala conversion transforms XML schemas into Scala case classes with immutable properties and functional programming patterns. This process analyzes XML structure and generates Scala models that can serialize and deserialize XML data, making it easy to work with XML in Scala applications and microservices.

The generated Scala case classes include Option types for nullable fields, implicit JSON Reads/Writes for Play Framework integration, companion objects with utility methods, and integration with scala-xml for native XML parsing in functional Scala applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Scala features are included in the generated case classes?

The tool generates Scala case classes with immutable properties, Option types for nullable fields, implicit JSON Reads/Writes for Play Framework, companion objects with utility methods, and integration with scala-xml for XML parsing using functional programming patterns.

Are the generated Scala classes compatible with Play Framework and Akka?

Yes! The generated Scala case classes work perfectly with Play Framework controllers, Akka actors, and can be used as data models in reactive applications. They integrate seamlessly with Play's JSON library and Akka's serialization mechanisms.

How does the tool handle complex XML hierarchies in Scala?

Complex XML structures are converted to nested Scala case classes with proper relationships. Each XML element becomes a case class with appropriate properties and types, maintaining the hierarchical structure and enabling easy pattern matching and functional transformations.

Can I use these classes with scala-xml for XML parsing?

Absolutely! The generated Scala case classes include scala-xml integration and companion object methods for XML parsing. You can use them to parse XML documents and automatically create Scala objects from XML data using functional programming approaches.

What Scala naming conventions are used in the generated code?

The tool follows Scala naming conventions: case class names use PascalCase, property names use camelCase, and companion objects follow Scala standards. XML attributes and elements are automatically converted to proper Scala naming conventions with Option types for nullable fields.

Is the XML to Scala converter completely free?

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