Updated on September 18, 2024

XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a common data format for data exchange and used in various industry data standards such as ISO 20022, HL7, ACORD just to name a few. However, for data analysis purposes the data locked away in XML needs to be converted to a more suitable format, typically a relational database or CSV.

One option to convert XML is Python. Python offers several practical methods and tools for handling XML. Among these, ElementTree stands out for its simplicity, being part of the standard library and offering an easy-to-use API for XML operations. lxml is favored for performance-sensitive tasks, leveraging the libxml2 and libxslt libraries for fast processing.

xmltodict simplifies XML interaction by converting documents into Python dictionaries, making data manipulation more intuitive. Choosing between these libraries depends on the project’s specific needs, such as performance, ease of use, or particular XML handling requirements.

In this document, we’ll explore the various tools and techniques for converting XML to a tabular or relational format in Python. We will also discuss the scenarios when a fully automated approach using an XML conversion tool makes more sense than hand coding a custom solution.

Popular Libraries and Methods for XML Conversion in Python

Python provides several libraries and methods suitable for XML conversion, catering to various data handling requirements. While XML is one of many formats used for data exchange and storage, its conversion into more commonly used formats like CSV can enhance data interoperability and integration.

This overview introduces key Python libraries, including lxml, ElementTree, xmltodict, BeautifulSoup, and pandas, that facilitate the conversion process. These libraries offer diverse approaches for parsing, modifying, and converting XML.

1. ElementTree API

Introduction and Basic Usage

The ElementTree API is a built-in Python library for parsing and creating XML data.

Basic usage involves importing the library, parsing an XML file, and then navigating or manipulating the tree structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Integrated into Python’s standard library, user-friendly, sufficient for most basic XML tasks.

Cons: Not as fast as some external libraries, lacks some advanced features like XPath support.

Input XML

</root>

Code Snippet

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import csv


# Load and parse the XML file
tree = ET.parse('/home/sonra/Desktop/book.xml')
root = tree.getroot()


with open('/home/sonra/Desktop/output.csv', 'w', newline='') as csvfile:
   csvwriter = csv.writer(csvfile)


   headers = ['BOOK', 'CATEGORY']
   csvwriter.writerow(headers)


   # Iterate through each record in the XML and write to the CSV file
   for record in root.findall('record'):
       field1 = record.find('book').text
       field2 = record.find('category').text
       csvwriter.writerow([field1, field2])

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

import csv

# Load and parse the XML file

tree = ET.parse('/home/sonra/Desktop/book.xml')

root = tree.getroot()

with open('/home/sonra/Desktop/output.csv', 'w', newline='') as csvfile:

csvwriter = csv.writer(csvfile)

headers = ['BOOK', 'CATEGORY']

csvwriter.writerow(headers)

# Iterate through each record in the XML and write to the CSV file

for record in root.findall('record'):

field1 = record.find('book').text

field2 = record.find('category').text

csvwriter.writerow([field1, field2])

Output

Output is a csv file containing the following;

BOOK	CATEGORY
Da Vinci Code	Fiction
C++	Education

2. Lxml

Introduction and Basic Usage

lxml is a third-party Python library that extends the capabilities of ElementTree with additional features and improved performance. It is often used as a drop-in replacement for ElementTree due to its similar API.

Basic usage typically involves importing the library, parsing XML, and using XPath for advanced querying.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Faster parsing and better memory management, especially for large XML files. Comprehensive support for XPath, XSLT, and schema validation.

Cons: External dependency, slightly more complex than ElementTree.

Choosing between Python coding and automated XML conversion

Choosing between Python coding and using an automated XML conversion tool for dealing with XML data really comes down to what your project’s specific needs are, especially considering the complexity of your XML files and how much customization the conversion process requires.

Although Python has a large library ecosystem and strong community support for converting XML files, facilitating custom solutions and straightforward integration across diverse data processing frameworks, it is not without its drawbacks. The challenges include the possibility of performance problems while processing huge files, a long development time, and a steep learning curve.

The potential of automated XML conversion solutions to simplify the conversion process is one of its many benefits. These tools perform exceptionally well in situations requiring quick XML conversion allowing organisations to transform massive amounts of XML files with minimal manual labour and coding.

Because of the user-friendly design of these tools, even those with little to no programming knowledge can convert XML files. Automating repeated processes not only improves the accuracy of the data produced by lowering the possibility of human error but also speeds up the conversion process.

This makes them a good resource for businesses trying to effectively and precisely handle their XML data conversion requirements. That is where Flexter comes in, embodying these advantages and offering a specialised solution for streamlined XML data management.

In summary, an automated XML conversion solution is a good fit if you say yes to one or more of these questions.

Are your XML documents complex, e.g. are they based on an industry data standard, come with one or more XSDs, or have more than 50 XPaths (XML elements)?
Do you have large volumes of XML data?
Do you have many different types of XML documents and XML schemas?
Do you have very large XML files?
Do you lack XML skills such as XQuery, XPath, XSLT on your engineering team?

For simple and ad hoc conversion requirements a manual coding approach is more suitable.
