Java XML to CSV (XML2CSV) generic conversion facility.
Flattens one or more similar XML files into CSV projections.
I made it in order to extract data from big XML files and gather them in files more easily opened with a spreadsheet because I didn't find anything adapted to my needs over the Internet when I needed to (Java + truly generic + self-contained algorithm + Unix like command line options + efficiency).
It is packaged as an auto executable Jar for convenient command line execution but might as well be interfaced directly by a Java class as part of a broader [yet non commercial] software.
It handles attributes, repeated elements, and so on, and produces results which level up with what spreadsheets generate when they import native XML (at least in its most extensive execution mode).
Please refer to the documentation for further details (PDF doc, Open Office Writer doc, and API doc).
