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"`
}
