xml2csv

xml2csv converts XML to CSV.
You can easily define mappings for converts using XPath.

Usage

$ xml2csv -i input.xml -m mapping.json -o output.csv

The arguments are as follows.

Usage: xml2csv [flags]

Flags
  -i, --input string       XML input file path or directory or url
  -m, --mapping string     XML to CSV mapping file path or url
  -o, --output string      CSV output file path
  -d, --delimiter string   (optional) CSV output delimiter (e.g. ';' or '\t' for tab) (default ",")
  -b, --bom                (optional) CSV with BOM
  -h, --help               Help

Custom delimiter

Use the -d option with '\t' to output tab-separated values:

xml2csv -i input.xml -m mapping.json -o output.tsv -d '\t'

For semicolon-separated values:

xml2csv -i input.xml -m mapping.json -o output.csv -d ';'

Using URL

XML and mapping files can be specified by URL.

xml2csv -i https://github.com/onozaty/xml2csv/raw/master/testdata/rss.xml -m https://github.com/onozaty/xml2csv/raw/master/mapping/rss.json -o output.csv

Mapping

The conversion mapping definition is written in JSON.
Specify the position on the XML with XPath.

{
    "rowsPath": "//item",
    "columns": [
        {
            "header": "title",
            "valuePath": "/title"
        },
        {
            "header": "link",
            "valuePath": "/link"
        },
        {
            "header": "description",
            "valuePath": "/description"
        }
    ]
}

• rowsPath : XPath to get as a rows.
• columns : Definition of each column.
  • header : CSV header.
  • valuePath : XPath to get as a value.
  • useEvaluate : Specify true when using an expression with valuePath. For example, when using sum() or not(), boolean().
