Advanced XML Converter helps you convert XML to other database and document formats: HTML, CSV, DBF, XLS and SQL. As you upload XML file and click CONVERT, the program delivers high-quality output in a new format. To deliver correct output, the program uses the hierarchical structure of the XML source to extract data. Then users can select the data that they want to see in the output. Advanced XML Converter is able to handle large XML files and convert more than one XML file in one go. With Advanced XML Converter, you no longer need to write complex XML transformations or XSL stylesheets. Convert XML to HTML, CSV, DBF, XLS, SQL cleanly and almost hands-down!

How Does It Work?

Advanced XML Converter does XML conversion in three steps. The first step is to open XML source. Once selected, the program parses the XML file, groups tags by name and displays XML structure, as well as content for you to preview. This helps you to see structure and records of XML and select the fields you want to see in the output file after conversion. Step two is to select the conversion mode from several available. Each mode has its own settings to customize. The third step is when the program saves the output file.

Get Output You Want

As flexible and user-oriented as Advanced XML Converter, there is another thing that users like about XML conversion. This is an ability to set up custom export parameters for an output file. For example, you can set HTML table styles, CSV delimiters, fields, tables to be exported, as well as many other parameters.

Advanced XML Converter vs. Scripting

1. Files-conversion provides you a free service to convert any format. Here you can convert a video (from extension 3gp to avi or wmv to flv, for a full list of supported extension, see-below). Check the menu to convert an audio, to convert an archive or to convert anything else you need.
2. Converting a file to XML now is actually much easier than it used to be when XML first became popular. Now there are many tools available to convert files from one format to another. Of course these tools are absolutely useless unless your data is prepared to be converted. Data should be structured and organized so that it can be converted into.

Every single XML file begins with XML declaration. XML declaration has its version name and encoding of that specific file. After that, a base element called the root element is defined. The root element may have child elements. All tags have their ending tag. XML files may carry comments, entity references, and attributes.

Writing XML transformations or XSL stylesheets typically means wasting hours and, sometimes, even days. Rather than putting efforts and time into inventing the wheel, Advanced XML Converter users enjoy a fully automated XML conversion process, turning a hard job into a relaxing fun ride.

Save Money on Buying Database Creation Packages

Database creation packages are costly these days. Advanced XML Converter is an affordable approach to XML conversion. Priced at only $49 for a single user, the program will let you convert XML to HTML, CSV, DBF, XLS and SQL without the need to buy several database packages separately. There are also multi-user licenses that will cost considerably less than the purchase of several personal licenses. What's more, users with specific conversion needs can buy a narrow license for $24 to convert XML only to one format: HTML, CSV, or XLS.

Convert XML in Batch Mode

Using Advanced XML Converter, you can convert more than one XML file in the batch mode. Just select the folder with files for XML conversion and begin the process. The program converts files one by one in the completely unattended mode, even when you are away, being busy with other things.

XML Viewing Tool

Advanced XML Converter can be used as a default tool to open XML files. You can open XML, view file structure and records, rearrange the order of fields and hide some fields for convenient viewing.

Use Stylus Studio to Convert to XML

Xml File Format Converter

Stylus Studio's Convert to XML is a powerful visual tool for defining custom XML converters for use in legacy data integration (Illustrated below, click to enlarge). If you need to get flat files, EDIFACT, IATA, X12, EANCOM into an XML format for use in a Java or Microsoft .NET application, then you can use the hundreds of built-in XML converters that are included in DataDirect XML Converters™. Otherwise, Convert to XML allows you to design custom XML converters to get any non-XML files (for example, proprietary file formats) into an XML document format. Convert to XML works with Stylus Studio®'s XML data source framework, enabling you to treat any legacy data file as a live XML data source for use elsewhere in Stylus Studio® — for example, as an input source for an XQuery or XSLT mapping project. The easiest way to learn how to use Convert to XML is to watch a two-minute, free online video demonstration of an example Convert to XML application, available from the videos section of the website. Please note that Convert to XML is only available in Stylus Studio® XML Enterprise Suite.

Support for Any Legacy File Format or Encoding

Convert to XML works on any legacy data input file, for example, text files, comma separated values (CSV), tab separated values, binary data, EDI, ASCII files, or any other flat file format. Stylus Studio® can also read dozens of different file encodings, understand various data types, and so on.

Visually Specify Field Delimiters

Convert to XML makes it easy to visually inspect files and insert field delimiters exactly where each data field begins and ends. Only Convert to XML supports the concept of 'fixed width regions' which allows you to specify different field delimiters for different sections of a file. The following illustration demonstrates visually specifying a data field delimiter using Convert to XML.

EDI to XML Mapping Support

Convert to XML can read header records of popular EDI formats such as HL7, UN/EDIFACT, X12, IATA and EANCOM, enabling advanced EDI to XML legacy data integration solutions. The following illustration shows an EDI file loaded into Convert to XML. See Converting EDI to XML to see how this is done with a sample document.

Stylus Studio® also comes with native adapters for bi-directional mapping directly from EDIFACT, EANCOM, IATA and X12 to XML and back, and support for validating EDIFACT data against the equivalent XML Schemas. A valuable and free reference site for understanding EDIFACT messages, segments, elements and code lists is available as the EDIFACT Zone.

Advanced Data Filtering Options

Convert to XML provides a wealth of advanced data filtering to remove unwanted data from your target XML output file. Convert to XML supports the use of regular expressions for pattern matching on specific data fields and other field matching options. The following screenshot displays the results of a filter that only displays cars from before the year 2000.

Advanced Convert to XML Properties

Xml File Format Converter

Convert to XML allows complete customization of any flat file to XML data conversion, allowing you to specify from dozens of properties including Input encoding, namespace and namespace prefix, output file name, indentation, element or attribute name, white space normalization, field padding, offsets, and more. Some of the Convert to XML property settings are illustrated below:

Integrated Convert to XML Preview Window with BackMapping

An integrated XML Conversion Output Preview Window allows you to pre-view the output of a Convert to XML operation and view the results in any of Stylus Studio's XML editing views, for example, HTML (Browser) View, Text View, or Tree View. It also has buttons to refresh the output, save the XML output to a file, and more! Additionally, the XML Conversion Output Preview Window supports backmapping, allowing you to click anywhere on the output file to visually locate either the source of a particular XML node, thus providing valuable feedback to help in troubleshooting advanced legacy data to XML conversion. The following screenshot illustrates the backmapping concept — highlighting a 'carid' attribute in the output causes Stylus Studio® to highlight the corresponding source in the flat file source pane.

Other Advanced XML Data Integration and Usability Features

Convert to XML understand numerous common data types, allowing you to easily normalize your input data files. Additionally for numbers, Convert to XML understands many currency formats, different bases, and much more! Complete support for Undo and Redo further enhance usability.

Generate Java Code to Call XSLT or XQuery, or Call APIs Directly

Now that you've gotten your transformation to work once, save the converter definition and compile it for use in your Java or .NET programs with DataDirect XML Converters™, (scalable Java and .NET components for streaming non-XML data to and from your program code) — Java Code Generator (video demo). This will combine any of the Java-based XSLT or XQuery engines, including DataDirect XQuery, that support custom URI resolvers with the adapter logic to make a component you can use outside of the Stylus Studio® environment.

For the handyman, you can do it yourself — the steps are simple, and the article XML Adapters Unleashed shows you how. You can go even further, to the simple and direct Data Conversion APIs, which are designed for direct embedded in your application and chaining between XML consumers and XML producers.

Generate Java Code for XML Pipelines

Often integration requires more than a single conversion — there may be steps requiring merging, splitting, publishing, copying, validating, storing and whatnot. The XML Pipeline module includes a user-interface for graphically connecting together the pieces, and a cute little button that packs quite a whallop — it will generate all of the code necessary to run the conversions, transforms, or whatever you've specified.
