xml_to_csv.py:

Simple Python script that uses lxml library to parse XML file using XPath and converts it to csv format.
This script assumes that you have a list of XPath expressions that you want to extract from the XML file.

Docker

The Dockerfile is named Dockerfile.bulk
Use the following command to test it out:
docker build: docker build --platform linux/amd64 -f Dockerfile.bulk -t xml-to-csv-bulk:native .
docker run: docker run --platform linux/amd64 -v "Your/Local/Path":/app/downloads xml-to-csv-bulk:native

xml_to_csv_bulk_pandas.py:

Simple Python script that uses lxml and pandas libraries to parse bulk XML files using XPath and converts it to csv format.
This script assumes that you have a list of XPath expressions that you want to extract from the XML file.
For pandas requirements please refer requirements-pandas.txt

Docker

The Dockerfile is named Dockerfile.bulk.pandas
Use the following command to test it out:
docker build: docker build --platform linux/amd64 -f Dockerfile.bulk.pandas -t xml-to-csv-bulk:pandas .
docker run: docker run --platform linux/amd64 -v "Your/Local/Path":/app/downloads xml-to-csv-bulk:pandas

Note

The two bulk options provides same functionality. I have written them separately using built in csv and pandas, so we have options for AWS Lambda or AWS ECS Task, etc.
This is purpose built side project; only maintained as required.
