PyXmlParser - Python XML Parser

Project Motivation

We have tons of parsers today. Most good. But I did not find a parser that parses insanely large files, not without paying for it anyway.

This project is mainly deals with such a situation. If your file is small. Welcome! Although there are a lot if other utilities out there too that might even be faster.

pyxmlparser is tested against a file 100 GB in size. Did quite well. Please note that since we iteratively scan through the majority of the file pyxmlparser is a little slower.

But then again there is no such thing as a free lunch. This project is an attempt to avoid those memory errors that can drive anyone against the wall.

This project is called pyxmlparser for now. Ultimately the goal is to deal with other formats as well.

Python Module to convert XML to csv. Project under developement. Not a stable release. Subsequent versions will be able to convert the files to different formats. Works Extremely well with Large XML files.

Prerequisites

python version 3.4 or above lxml click

Installing -

pip install pyxmlparser

Navigate to the folder where the XML file is present on the terminal. call the function pyxmlparser with the other required inputs. Eg: pyxmlparser xml_filename output_csv_name.csv xpathstring_csvcolumns.txt --encoding='xml-file-encoding'
