What is XML to PHP Converter?
Tired of manually writing PHP classes from XML? This tool does that grunt work for you. Paste your XML following the W3C XML specification and get clean PHP classes ready to use in Laravel or Symfony projects.
Whether you're working with API responses, config files, or data imports, generating PHP classes from XML saves hours. The converter analyzes your XML structure and creates proper classes with typed properties, namespaces, and all that good stuff. No more copy-pasting or guessing what properties you need.
Everything runs in your browser – your XML stays private. Generate, download, and drop the classes right into your project.
How to Use XML to PHP
Follow these steps to convert XML to PHP classes. 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 Class Name and Namespace
Set your Class Name and Namespace in the config panel. Toggle Typed Properties for PHP 7.4+. The right PHP Output panel shows generated classes instantly per the W3C XML specification.
Download or Copy
Click Download to save the PHP 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
API Integration
Working with SOAP APIs or XML-based REST endpoints? Generate PHP classes to deserialize responses. Much easier than manually mapping XML to arrays.
Config Files
Converting XML configs to PHP classes. Perfect when migrating from XML-based configs to PHP objects, or when you need type-safe config handling.
Data Imports
Importing XML data into Laravel or Symfony? Generate classes first, then use them with Eloquent or Doctrine. Cleaner than working with raw arrays.
Legacy System Integration
Connecting to old systems that only speak XML? Generate PHP classes to make the integration cleaner and more maintainable.
Common Questions
Is my XML data stored?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your XML never leaves your computer.
What PHP version does it generate?
The code works with PHP 7.4+. If you enable typed properties, you'll need PHP 7.4 or later. Without typed properties, it works with older PHP versions too.
Does it generate getters and setters?
Currently it generates public properties. If you need getters/setters, you can add them manually or use a tool like PhpStorm to generate them.
Can I customize the generated code?
You can set class names and namespaces. The generated code is clean and easy to modify – add methods, implement interfaces, or extend base classes as needed.
Does it work with Composer?
Yes. Just make sure your namespace matches your PSR-4 autoloading setup in composer.json. Drop the file in the right directory and it'll autoload.
What about XML attributes?
XML attributes become properties in the generated classes. Nested elements become nested classes or arrays, depending on the structure.
