What Is XML to Java?

Java offers several ways to work with XML: JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding), Jackson's XmlMapper, or the DOM API. This tool generates Java POJOs (Plain Old Java Objects) from your XML structure so you can unmarshal XML into typed objects instead of manually traversing nodes. The W3C XML specification defines the input format.

Conversion runs in your browser. You can set the class name, package, and whether to include getters and setters. Nothing is sent to a server. The generated classes are a starting point—you may add JAXB or Jackson annotations for fine-tuning.

How to Use This Tool

1

Paste or Upload XML

Paste your XML into the left editor or upload a file. Use the config panel to set the root Class Name, Package, and toggle Getters/Setters. The more representative your sample, the better the generated structure.

2

Review the Java Output

The right panel shows generated Java classes. Add JAXB annotations (@XmlRootElement, @XmlElement) or use Jackson's XmlMapper for parsing. For Spring or Android, these POJOs integrate with your existing XML parsing setup.

3

Copy or Download

Use Copy or Download to save the classes. For JSON to Java, use JSON to Java. For XML formatting, use XML Formatter. For validation, use XML Validator.

When XML to Java Helps

Use this tool when integrating SOAP or REST APIs that return XML, when parsing configuration files, or when building Android apps that consume XML feeds. Manually writing POJOs for complex XML is tedious; this tool gives you a head start. Add annotations and adjust types as needed for your JAXB or Jackson setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

JAXB vs Jackson for XML?

JAXB is built into Java (see Oracle JAXB tutorial). Jackson has XmlMapper for XML. Both work with generated POJOs. JAXB uses JAXBContext and Unmarshaller; Jackson uses XmlMapper.readValue().

Is my data private?

Yes. Class generation runs entirely in your browser. No XML or code is sent to any server.
