What is XML to Rust Converter?
Working with Rust and need structs from XML? This tool generates clean Rust code with serde support following the W3C XML specification. 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 (eXtensible Markup Language) 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. Check out the W3C XML Specification for more details.
How to Use XML to Rust
Follow these steps to convert XML to Rust structs. 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 Struct Name and Options
Set your struct name and options in the config panel. The right Rust Output panel shows structs with serde attributes per the W3C XML specification.
Download or Copy
Click Download to save the Rust 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
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.
