XML to JAVA Online Converter

Here's how you can convert your XML string to Java objects or POJO classes, we will be using the converter and built in libraries like 'com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat' to parse our object.

1. Copy the XML string inside the first code editor

The XML string should be correctly formatted before converting it to Java classes.

Here's an example of an XML string:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<realestates>
<externalId>100011</externalId>
<ttitle>RestAPI - Immobilienscout24 Testobjekt! +++BITTE+++ NICHT kontaktieren - Industry</ttitle>
<creationDate>2013-12-06T15:12:09</creationDate>
<lastModificationDate>2014-07-08T15:12:09</lastModificationDate>
<thermalCharacteristic>32.678</thermalCharacteristic>
<energyConsumptionContainsWarmWater>YES</energyConsumptionContainsWarmWater>
<buildingEnergyRatingType>ENERGY_CONSUMPTION</buildingEnergyRatingType>
<additionalArea>435.017</additionalArea>
<numberOfFloors>three</numberOfFloors>
<additionalCosts>
<value>249.014</value>
<currency>EUR</currency>
<marketingType>RENT</marketingType>
<priceIntervalType>MONTH</priceIntervalType>
</additionalCosts>
</realestates>

2. Click Convert in order to start generating POJO objects.

You can optionally choose from the settings to:

• Use Properties which will return the classes with their getters and setters methods

3. Copy the retuned Java classes and deserialize using com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat librairy

When you copy the returned classes in the directory of your solution, you can deserialize your XML string or file using the 'Root' class as mentioned in commented example below:

Here are the classes returned from the previous example:

 
public class additionalCosts { 
	public String value; 
	public String currency; 
	public String marketingType; 
	public String priceIntervalType; 
}

public class realestates { 
	public String externalId; 
	public String title; 
	public String creationDate; 
	public String lastModificationDate; 
	public String thermalCharacteristic; 
	public String energyConsumptionContainsWarmWater; 
	public String buildingEnergyRatingType; 
	public String additionalArea; 
	public String numberOfFloors; 
	public additionalCosts additionalCosts; 
}

This is how can you deserialize your XML string in your Java code:

First, import the 'com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat' into our pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-dataformat-xml</artifactId>
    <version>2.11.1</version>
</dependency>

Second, use the 'XMLMapper' class and call the 'readValue' method by supplying it the xml string and root class

 
   XmlMapper xmlMapper = new XmlMapper();
   realestates value = xmlMapper.readValue("", realestates.class);
