Convert XML to Python classes and dataclasses for Django and Flask

What is XML to Python Converter?
Need Python classes from your XML? This tool generates clean Python code with dataclasses or regular classes. Perfect for Django or Flask projects where you're dealing with XML data.
Instead of manually parsing XML with ElementTree or lxml, generate typed classes that make your code cleaner and easier to maintain. The converter handles nested structures, attributes, and all that XML complexity automatically. Python's XML libraries work great with these generated classes.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your XML never leaves your machine – generate, download, and start using the classes right away.
What Makes This Tool Different
Dataclass Support
Generate Python 3.7+ dataclasses with type hints. Less boilerplate, cleaner code. Perfect for modern Python projects.
Type Hints
Full type annotations using Python's typing module. Makes your code more readable and helps catch errors with tools like mypy.
Custom Class Names
Set your own class names to match your project's conventions. Works great with Django models or Flask schemas.
Nested Structures
Handles complex XML hierarchies. Each nested element gets its own class, creating a proper object model.
File Upload
Upload large XML files directly. No need to copy-paste massive configs or API responses.
Ready to Use
Generated code is clean and follows Python conventions. Drop it into your project and start using it immediately.
How It Works
Paste or Upload XML
Paste your XML into the left editor, or upload a file. Click "Sample" to see an example. Make sure your XML is valid – use the XML Validator first if needed.
Choose Options
Set your class name at the top. Toggle dataclass and type hints based on your Python version and preferences. The Python code updates automatically.
Download or Copy
Click "Download" to save the Python file, or "Copy" to grab the code. Import it into your project and start using the classes.
When You'd Actually Use This
API Integration
Working with XML APIs? Generate Python classes to deserialize responses. Much cleaner than parsing XML manually with ElementTree.
Django Projects
Importing XML data into Django? Generate classes first, then use them with Django's ORM or serializers. Type-safe and maintainable.
Data Processing
Processing XML files in Python? Generate classes to make the code more readable and easier to debug. Better than working with raw dictionaries.
Legacy System Integration
Connecting to old systems that output XML? Generate Python classes to make the integration cleaner and more Pythonic.
Common Questions
Is my XML data stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your XML never leaves your computer.
What Python version does it generate?
The code works with Python 3.7+. If you enable dataclasses, you'll need Python 3.7 or later. Without dataclasses, it works with older Python versions too. Check the Python documentation for version-specific features.
Does it use dataclasses or regular classes?
You can choose. Dataclasses are cleaner and require less boilerplate, but regular classes work if you need more control or compatibility with older Python versions.
Can I customize the generated code?
You can set class names and choose between dataclasses and regular classes. The generated code is clean and easy to modify – add methods or properties as needed.
Does it work with Django models?
The generated classes are plain Python classes. You can extend them to Django models if needed, or use them as data transfer objects.
What about XML attributes?
XML attributes become properties in the generated classes. Nested elements become nested classes or lists, depending on the structure.
