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 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.
What Makes This Tool Different
Automatic Class Generation
Analyzes your XML and generates Ruby classes automatically. Elements become classes, attributes become instance variables, everything gets proper Ruby types.
Attr Accessor Support
Generates classes with attr_accessor for easy getters and setters. Perfect for Ruby's dynamic nature and XML serialization.
Module Support
Configure module names to match your project structure. Generate code that fits seamlessly into your existing Ruby project organization.
File Upload Support
Got a big file? Just upload it. Works great for converting those massive XML configs or data files without copy-pasting.
Download Ruby
One click to download your Ruby file. Drop it into your Ruby project and start using it. Perfect for Rails, Sinatra, or Ruby scripts.
Clean Code Output
The generated Ruby code is clean and well-formatted. Classes are properly named, attributes are typed correctly, and the code follows Ruby conventions.
How It Works
Paste or Upload XML
Paste your XML into the left editor, or click "Upload" to load a file. The XML should be valid – use our XML Validator first if you're not sure. You can also click "Sample" to see an example.
Configure Options
Set your class name, module name, and configure options. These settings customize the generated Ruby code to match your project's conventions.
Download or Copy
Click "Download" to save the Ruby file, or "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard. The Ruby code is ready to use in your project. Drop it into your Ruby project and start using it.
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 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.
Can I use the generated Ruby code?
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?
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.
