What is XML to Ruby Converter?
Building Rails apps or Ruby scripts and need Ruby classes from XML? This tool generates clean Ruby code with classes and attributes. Perfect for Ruby projects where you're working with XML data from APIs or config files.
Instead of manually writing Ruby classes and parsing logic, paste your XML (eXtensible Markup Language) and get ready-to-use code. The converter handles nested structures, attributes, and all the Ruby-specific details automatically.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your XML never leaves your machine – generate, download, and start using the classes right away. Check out the W3C XML Specification for more details.
How to Use XML to Ruby
Follow these steps to convert XML to Ruby classes. Each step uses the actual buttons and panels on this page.
Paste, Upload, or Load Sample
Paste XML into the left XML Input panel, or click Upload to load a file. Click Sample to load example telecomm XML. Example:
<subscribers><subscriber><subscriberId>SUB-1001</subscriberId><plan>Unlimited 5G</plan><dataUsage>45.2</dataUsage></subscriber></subscribers>Use Clear to start fresh. Validate first with our XML Validator if needed.
Configure Class Name and Module
Set Class Name and Module in the config panel. The right Ruby Output panel shows classes with attr_accessor instantly per the W3C XML specification.
Download or Copy
Click Download to save the Ruby file, or Copy to copy to your clipboard. All processing runs in your browser – your XML never leaves your computer.
When You'd Actually Use This
Rails Applications
Generate Ruby classes from XML API responses for Rails applications. Create models for SOAP APIs or XML-based configurations. Perfect for Rails' XML support.
Sinatra Applications
Create Ruby classes from XML data for Sinatra applications. Generate data models for XML-based APIs or configurations. Perfect for Sinatra's flexible architecture.
Ruby Scripts
Generate Ruby classes from XML data for Ruby scripts. Create data models for XML-based data processing or configurations. Perfect for automation scripts.
Code Generation
Generate Ruby code from XML data structures. Perfect for creating data models, DTOs, or entity classes from XML schemas or API responses.
Common Questions
Is my XML data stored?
Nope. Everything happens right in your browser. Your XML Schema never leaves your computer – we don't even see it.
How are XML elements handled?
XML elements become Ruby classes. Attributes become instance variables, and nested elements become nested classes or references. Arrays become Ruby arrays. Check out the XPath for more details.
Can I use the generated Ruby code?
XML Yes. The generated Ruby code is valid and ready to use. Drop it into your Ruby project and start using it. You may want to review and refine the classes for your specific use case.
What about attr_accessor?
XML 1.0 Specification The generated classes include attr_accessor for all attributes, providing automatic getter and setter methods following Ruby conventions.
Does it work with large XML files?
Yep. Since everything happens in your browser, it depends on your device. Small to medium XML structures convert instantly. Really huge structures might take a few seconds.
What Ruby version is supported?
The generated code works with Ruby 2.5 and later. It uses standard Ruby features and follows Ruby conventions for maximum compatibility.
