What is XML to PHP Converter?
Tired of manually writing PHP classes from XML? This tool does that grunt work for you. Paste your XML and get clean PHP classes ready to use in Laravel or Symfony projects.
Whether you're working with API responses, config files, or data imports, generating PHP classes from XML saves hours. The converter analyzes your XML structure and creates proper classes with typed properties, namespaces, and all that good stuff. No more copy-pasting or guessing what properties you need.
Everything runs in your browser – your XML stays private. Generate, download, and drop the classes right into your project.
What Makes This Tool Different
Custom Class Names
Set your own class name and namespace. Perfect for matching your project's naming conventions or PSR-4 autoloading structure.
Typed Properties
Generate PHP 7.4+ typed properties. Makes your code more robust and helps catch errors early. Works great with modern PHP frameworks.
Nested Structures
Handles complex XML with nested elements. Each nested structure gets its own class, so you get a proper object hierarchy.
File Upload
Got a big XML file? Just upload it. No need to copy-paste massive configs or API responses.
Download Ready Code
One click downloads your PHP classes. Drop them into your project and start using them immediately.
Laravel & Symfony Ready
Generated classes work perfectly with Laravel's Eloquent or Symfony's Serializer. No extra configuration needed.
How It Works
Paste or Upload XML
Paste your XML into the left editor, or upload a file. You can also click "Sample" to see an example. Make sure your XML is valid – use our XML Validator first if you're not sure.
Configure Options
Set your class name and namespace at the top. Toggle typed properties if you want PHP 7.4+ type hints. The PHP code updates automatically as you change settings.
Download or Copy
Click "Download" to save the PHP file, or "Copy" to grab the code. Drop it into your project and you're ready to go. Works great with Composer autoloading.
When You'd Actually Use This
API Integration
Working with SOAP APIs or XML-based REST endpoints? Generate PHP classes to deserialize responses. Much easier than manually mapping XML to arrays.
Config Files
Converting XML configs to PHP classes. Perfect when migrating from XML-based configs to PHP objects, or when you need type-safe config handling.
Data Imports
Importing XML data into Laravel or Symfony? Generate classes first, then use them with Eloquent or Doctrine. Cleaner than working with raw arrays.
Legacy System Integration
Connecting to old systems that only speak XML? Generate PHP classes to make the integration cleaner and more maintainable.
Common Questions
Is my XML data stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your XML never leaves your computer.
What PHP version does it generate?
The code works with PHP 7.4+. If you enable typed properties, you'll need PHP 7.4 or later. Without typed properties, it works with older PHP versions too.
Does it generate getters and setters?
Currently it generates public properties. If you need getters/setters, you can add them manually or use a tool like PhpStorm to generate them.
Can I customize the generated code?
You can set class names and namespaces. The generated code is clean and easy to modify – add methods, implement interfaces, or extend base classes as needed.
Does it work with Composer?
Yes. Just make sure your namespace matches your PSR-4 autoloading setup in composer.json. Drop the file in the right directory and it'll autoload.
What about XML attributes?
XML attributes become properties in the generated classes. Nested elements become nested classes or arrays, depending on the structure.
