How to use

1Paste an XML document into the input box.
2Choose the language and, if you like, a root class name and package.
3Turn annotations on to get JAXB, XmlSerializer or Jackson XML mappings.
4Click Copy code and paste it into your project.

Frequently asked questions

How are attributes and elements mapped?

Attributes and child elements both become fields, and with annotations on, each keeps its original XML name and kind (for example @XmlAttribute or @XmlElement). Text next to attributes or child elements becomes a field named value.

How does it know when an element is a list?

An element that appears more than once under the same parent becomes a list. If your sample has only one <item>, it is treated as a single object, so include two or more in the sample to get a list.

Does it read numbers and booleans?

Yes, by default, so 42 becomes an integer and true becomes a boolean. Turn off "Detect numbers and booleans" to make every field a string.

Is my XML uploaded anywhere?

No. It is parsed and converted in your browser, and nothing is sent to a server.
