XMLGenerator: Generating XML
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
By default the code generator produces Java files for use with the jOOQ API as documented throughout this manual. In some cases, however, it may be desireable to generate other meta data formats, such as an XML document. This can be done with the XMLGenerator.
The format produced by the XMLGenerator is the same as the one consumed by the XMLDatabase, which can read such XML content to produce Java code. It is specified in the https://www.jooq.org/xsd/jooq-meta-3.5.4.xsd schema. Essentially, this schema is an XML representation of the SQL standard INFORMATION_SCHEMA, as implemented by databases like H2, HSQLDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server.
In order to use the XMLGenerator, simply place the following class reference into your code generation configuration:
<configuration>
<generator>
<name>org.jooq.codegen.XMLGenerator</name>
</generator>
</configuration>
See the configuration XSD, standalone code generation, and maven code generation for more details.
new org.jooq.util.jaxb.Configuration()
.withGenerator(new Generator()
.withName("org.jooq.codegen.XMLGenerator")
)
See the configuration XSD and programmatic code generation for more details.

// The jOOQ-codegen-gradle plugin has been introduced in version 3.19 only.
generationTool {
generator {
name = "org.jooq.codegen.XMLGenerator"
}
}
See the configuration XSD and gradle code generation for more details.
This configuration does not interfere with most of the remaining code generation configuration, e.g. you can still specify the JDBC connection or the generation output target as usual.
