Many web services and APIs return XML responses. Converting XML data into Go structs makes it easier to work with the data in your Go application.
type StockData { Symbol string `xml:"symbol"` Price float64 `xml:"price"` Currency string `xml:"currency"` }
XML files are often used for transferring data between systems. Go structs allow you to easily parse and transform this data before loading it into a database or another system.
type Employee { ID int `xml:"id"` Name string `xml:"name"` Role string `xml:"role"` }
Many applications use XML for configuration files. Converting XML into Go structs allows you to read and manipulate configuration data directly.
type Config { Database struct { Host string `xml:"host"` Port int `xml:"port"` Username string `xml:"username"` Password string `xml:"password"` } `xml:"database"` }
Industries like e-commerce and media use XML for data feeds. Converting XML to Go structs allows you to easily process and update product information or other data.
type Product { ID string `xml:"id"` Name string `xml:"name"` Description string `xml:"description"` Price float64 `xml:"price"` }
Once converted into Go structs, XML data can be easily validated, transformed, or used in business logic before being stored or transmitted.
type Order { ID string `xml:"id"` Amount float64 `xml:"amount"` Date string `xml:"date"` }
During data migrations, especially from legacy systems, converting XML data to Go structs makes it easier to map, transform, and load data into new systems.
type InventoryItem { ProductID string `xml:"product_id"` Quantity int `xml:"quantity"` Location string `xml:"location"` }
XML-based protocols like SOAP require parsing and processing XML messages. Go structs simplify this process when dealing with such protocols.
type SOAPResponse { Status string `xml:"status"` Message string `xml:"message"` }
Web scraping often involves extracting data from XML-based sources like RSS feeds. You can convert this XML data to Go structs to process and display it on your platform.
type RSSItem { Title string `xml:"title"` Link string `xml:"link"` Description string `xml:"description"` }
