I found that bib data exported from some platform/tools is missing some fields, like pages is missing for an article (but it is available if one downloads the pdf file, and checks the page numbers). And bibutils do not check it at all. It does not complain but generates an item. The missing fields are likely to be ignored until the resulting file is checked by some very careful guy. I hope this should be checked eariler. I don't know if such a tool exists or not. But it would be great if bibutils...

Thank you for your work. I just compiled the new version and tested it. It meets my requirement for now. But I find some entry type like online (http://ctan.cs.uu.nl/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/examples/biblatex-examples.bib) is converted into Electronic, and software (https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/5223) is recognized as Article.

@cdputnam Is there any progress?

I required this in https://sourceforge.net/p/bibutils/discussion/general/thread/4352613b/ But I think it is better to be a topic to see how many people would have such requirement. For me, I use biblatex more than bibtex. It supports more entry types, such as patent. But with xml2bib, a patent entry will be converted to a misc entry.

Nice to hear that, and looking forward to your new parser.

I expect the result better be Aksın, Özge and 张三

I use xml2bib -nl. Aks{\i}n, {\"O}zge and 张三 turns into Aksın, Özge and {张三}. The brackets go away for the former name, but come for the latter CJK name. Is this a bug?
