[Hidden-tech] XML on OSX

[Noah Paessel]

How many files do you need to convert?

For a small number you of files you can probably use an online converter. I just tried two and they seemed to work converting some sample XML files I had lying around into CSV:

https://json-csv.com/xml
http://xmlgrid.net/xml2text.html

The second link lets you specify which fields to use in your output.

If you have a large number of files, or maybe larger files you might benefit from a small script in python or ruby.

Here is a library & command line tool that seems to fit the bill: https://github.com/knadh/xmlutils.py

Cheers,
