🧬 XML to Rust — Free Online Tool

Convert XML to Rust online, free. XML is a verbose, self-describing markup format used in SOAP, RSS and enterprise systems. Rust structs with serde derives serialize/deserialize data safely and fast. XML to Rust conversion parses your XML against the W3C XML 1.0 grammar (https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/), builds an in-memory model of its keys, nested objects and arrays, then emits ready-to-use Rust types with serde #[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)] attributes following the Serde conventions. Processing runs in your browser in JavaScript with no upload or server round-trip — no size limit beyond your device's memory, so multi-megabyte documents convert in milliseconds and sensitive payloads never leave your machine. Typical uses include Rust services & CLIs, WASM modules and high-performance parsing.

🚀 Why use this XML to Rust tool?

It maps the full structure of your XML onto idiomatic Rust types, following the Serde conventions. 100% free, no registration, and complete privacy — everything runs locally in your browser, so your data never touches a server.

Key Features

Instant, in-browser

Paste XML and generate Rust types from Rust immediately. Conversion runs client-side, so there is no upload wait and large documents stay fast.

🧩Structure-aware mapping

Nested XML objects, tables and arrays are mapped faithfully onto Rust, including nested types and optional fields.

🔒100% private

Your XML never leaves your device — everything is processed locally in JavaScript, with nothing logged or stored.

🆓Free, no signup

Unlimited conversions with no account, no quotas, and no watermark. Works on desktop and mobile.

What It Handles

Structure

  • Nested objects & tables
  • Arrays / lists
  • Deeply nested documents

Values

  • Inferred types (string, number, boolean)
  • Optional / nullable fields
  • Nested type names

Workflow

  • Copy or download output
  • Load an example to try it

Worked example

A XML document and its Rust equivalent:

XML input:

<product>
  <sku>A-100</sku>
  <price>19.99</price>
  <active>true</active>
</product>

Output:

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct Product {
    sku: String,
    price: f64,
    active: bool,
}

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert XML to Rust?

Paste your XML into the editor and press "Convert to Rust". The tool parses it against the W3C XML 1.0 grammar, then generates Rust types following Serde conventions — instantly and entirely in your browser. You can validate or format the XML first to be sure it is clean.

How is XML structure represented in Rust?

XML has no native numbers, booleans or arrays. Repeated child elements become lists in Rust, attributes and element text become fields, and values stay strings unless Rust coerces them — so review numeric or boolean fields after converting.

Are optional fields detected when generating Rust?

Optional or nullable members in the generated Rust are inferred from keys missing in some records of your XML, following Serde. Include the optional fields in your sample so they are typed correctly.

What is the difference between XML and Rust?

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) (XML) — XML is a verbose, self-describing markup format used in SOAP, RSS and enterprise systems. Rust structs (Rust) — Rust structs with serde derives serialize/deserialize data safely and fast. This converter maps the structure of your XML onto Rust so you can use it for Rust services & CLIs.

Does the converter validate my XML first?

Yes. Invalid XML is flagged with a clear error before anything is converted. Common XML problems to check are matched start and end tags, a single root element, and quoted attribute values. Starting from clean input keeps the generated Rust accurate.

Is my XML data private?

Yes. The entire XML-to-Rust conversion runs locally in your browser in JavaScript — your XML is never uploaded, logged or stored. That matters when the data is something like SOAP web services, which should not leave your machine.

Where can I use the Rust output?

The generated Rust is ready for Rust services & CLIs, WASM modules and high-performance parsing. Copy or download it and drop it straight into your codebase.

🎓 Pro Tips

  • Tip 1: Validate or format your XML first (the Validate / Format buttons) so the converter works from clean, W3C XML 1.0-conformant input.
  • Tip 2: Give the tool a representative XML sample — optional fields are only detected from the keys actually present, so include them if they matter.
  • Tip 3: Authoritative reference for the input format: W3C XML 1.0 — https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/.
  • Tip 4: For the output, follow the Serde (https://serde.rs/) conventions in your codebase.
