ToXML

Small extension that converts objects to xml and vice versa Download NuGet Package

What is it for

Imagine what we need receive c# object as xml element

For example we have

class Product
{
    public string Title { get; set; }

    public string Description { get; set; }

    public decimal Price { get; set; }

    public int Discount { get; set; }

    public DateTime AddedDate { get; set; }
}

And it's instance

Product testProduct = new Product
{
    Title = "Milk",
    Description = "Tasty Tasty milk",
    Price = 10,
    Discount = 5,
    AddedDate = DateTime.Now
};

ToXML prodives special class called "XMLConverter"

We can use it's ObjectToXML method, that allows convert object to xml

XElement xmlProduct = XMLConverter.ObjectToXML(product);

//and save it in document
strin path = "your path";
XDocument document = new XDocument();
document.Add(xmlProduct);
document.Save(path);

ToXML provides object extension for more convenient, so we can do the same in other way

XElement xmlProduct = product.ToXML():

Some settings

ToXML also has few attributes to define how pase object

  • XMLName - allows to set your name of class/property
  • XMLParsable - allows to enable/disable class/property converter parse

For example for that

class Product
{
    [XMLName("Name")]
    public string Title { get; set; }

    public string Description { get; set; }

    public decimal Price { get; set; }
    
    [XMLParsable(false)]
    public int Discount { get; set; }

    public DateTime AddedDate { get; set; }
}

We receive following result

How we can see, "Title" was renamed as "Name" and "Discount" was ignored by converter
