Popular Use Cases

Data and API Integration

  • Transform and load data from XML files between systems.
  • Migrate data from legacy XML systems to modern platforms
  • Validate and process XML data for business logic
  • Handle XML-based protocols like SOAP in Golang

Configuration and Feeds

  • Parse XML configuration files and settings
  • Document format migration
  • Extract and process data from XML sources (e.g., RSS feeds)

There are so many useful Use Cases for Converting XML to Go Structs

1. Interfacing with Web Services and APIs

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"`
}

2. Data Integration and ETL Processes

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"`
}

3. Configuration Parsing

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"`
}

4. Processing XML-based Data Feeds

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"`
}

5. Data Validation and Transformation

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"`
}

6. Data Migration

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"`
}

7. Interacting with External Systems using XML Protocols

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"`
}

8. Web Scraping and XML Data Extraction

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"`
}
