What is XML to C# Converter?

Need to generate C# classes from XML data? This tool does that instantly. Perfect for .NET development, it generates POCO (Plain Old CLR Objects) classes with proper XML serialization attributes.

The generated C# classes include XmlSerializer attributes for seamless deserialization. Whether you're building ASP.NET applications, WPF desktop apps, or enterprise services, this generator creates production-ready code.

Everything happens in your browser – your XML data stays private. Generate, download, and use your C# classes right away. Customize the root class name and choose between properties or fields.

How to Use XML to C# Converter

Follow these steps to generate C# classes from XML. Each step uses the actual buttons and panels on this page.

Paste or Upload XML

Paste XML into the left XML Input panel, or click Upload to load a file. Click Sample to load example XML. Configure the Class Name and choose your preferred code style with Properties and Nullable Types options.

<subscribers><subscriber><id>1</id><name>John</name><email>john@example.com</email></subscriber></subscribers>

Valid XML will generate corresponding C# classes. Invalid XML will show an error.

Review Generated C# Code

The right C# Output panel shows the generated classes. Each XML element becomes a property with [XmlElement] attributes for proper serialization.

Copy and Use

Click Copy to copy the generated C# code to your clipboard, or Download to save as a .cs file. Drop it into your .NET project and start using it immediately.

When You'd Actually Use This

ASP.NET Development

Generate C# model classes from XML schemas for your ASP.NET applications. Perfect for building APIs that consume XML data.

WPF Applications

Create C# data classes from XML for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) desktop applications with data binding.

Web Services Integration

Generate POCO classes from SOAP/XML web service schemas for seamless integration with legacy systems.

Data Processing

Convert XML-based data structures to strongly-typed C# classes for type-safe data processing and validation.

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.

What C# features are supported?

The generator creates C# classes with properties, proper naming conventions, List<T> for arrays, and XML serialization attributes. You can choose between properties and fields, and enable nullable types for modern C#.

How are nested elements handled?

Nested XML elements become separate C# classes. Each nested element gets its own class with [XmlElement] attributes, and the parent class references it as a property.

What about XML attributes?

XML attributes are converted to C# properties with [XmlAttribute] attributes for proper serialization and deserialization.

Can I customize the generated classes?

Yes! You can change the root class name, choose between properties and fields, and enable/disable nullable types. After generation, you can manually edit the code as needed.

What XML serializers work with these classes?

The generated classes work with System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer (built into .NET). Just use XmlSerializer.Deserialize(stream) in your code.
