Today, I will show you how do I convert a json to xml in golang, as above mentioned I’m going to use xml.MarshalIndent() method.

To use the xml.MarshalIndent() method, we have first import "encoding/xml" package, then we have to create json variable which we will use to convert it in xml.

Let’s start our Golang convert json to xml example

main.go

package main
import (
  "fmt"
  "encoding/xml"
)

type Product struct {
    ID    uint64
    Name  string
    SKU   string
    Cat   Category
}
type Category struct {
    ID   uint64
    Name string
}

func main() {
    p := Product{ID: 42, Name: "Tea Pot", SKU: "TP12", Cat: Category{ID: 2, Name: "Tea"}}
    bI, err := xml.MarshalIndent(p, "", "   ")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    xmlWithHeader := xml.Header + string(bI)
    fmt.Println(xmlWithHeader)
}

In the above example, we have converted the json value to a xml and printed in golang console. let’s check the output.

Output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Product>
   <ID>42</ID>
   <Name>Tea Pot</Name>
   <SKU>TP12</SKU>
   <Cat>
      <ID>2</ID>
      <Name>Tea</Name>
   </Cat>
</Product>

I hope it helps you, All the best 👍.
