What is XML to Rust Converter?
Working with Rust and need structs from XML? This tool generates clean Rust code with serde support. Perfect for Rust projects where you're working with XML data from APIs or config files.
Instead of manually writing Rust structs and serde attributes, paste your XML and get ready-to-use code. The converter handles nested structures, Option types, and all the Rust-specific details automatically.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your XML never leaves your machine – generate, download, and start using the structs right away.
What Makes This Tool Different
Automatic Struct Generation
Analyzes your XML and generates Rust structs automatically. Elements become structs, attributes become fields, everything gets proper Rust types.
Serde Support
Generates structs with serde attributes for XML encoding and decoding. Works great with serde-xml-rs and other XML serialization crates.
Option Types
Uses Option<T> for nullable fields. Perfect for Rust's type system and safe XML decoding.
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 Rust
One click to download your Rust file. Drop it into your Rust project and start using it. Perfect for web servers or system programming.
Clean Code Output
The generated Rust code is clean and well-formatted. Structs are properly named, fields are typed correctly, and the code follows Rust 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 struct name and configure options. These settings customize the generated Rust code to match your project's conventions.
Download or Copy
Click "Download" to save the Rust file, or "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard. The Rust code is ready to use in your project. Drop it into your Rust project and start using it.
When You'd Actually Use This
Web Servers
Generate Rust structs from XML API responses for web servers. Create models for SOAP APIs or XML-based configurations. Perfect for Actix-web, Rocket, or Warp frameworks.
System Programming
Create Rust structs from XML data for system-level applications. Generate data models for XML-based APIs or configurations. Perfect for high-performance Rust applications.
CLI Tools
Generate Rust structs from XML data for command-line tools. Create data models for XML-based configurations or data formats. Perfect for Rust CLI applications.
Code Generation
Generate Rust code from XML data structures. Perfect for creating data models, DTOs, or entity structs 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 Rust structs. Attributes become struct fields, and nested elements become nested structs or references. Arrays become Rust vectors.
Can I use the generated Rust code?
Yes. The generated Rust code is valid and ready to use. Drop it into your Rust project and start using it. You may want to review and refine the structs for your specific use case.
What about serde?
The generated structs include serde attributes for XML serialization. You'll need to add serde and serde-xml-rs to your Cargo.toml dependencies.
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 Rust edition is supported?
The generated code works with Rust 2018 edition and later. It uses standard Rust features and serde for maximum compatibility.
