The term is serialization and deserialization - look them up. — Benjamin Gruenbaum

JAXB - It will help you to convert Object to XML and XML to Object. https://jaxb.java.net/

The easiest way is to use the JAXB class that is part of the standard library.

Java Object => XML

JAXB.marshal(yourObject, new File("obj.xml"));

XML => Java object

YourClass yourObject = JAXB.unmarshal(new File("obj.xml"), YourClass.class);

You can customize the serialization/deserialization with annotation on the class and on its fields.
