Convert XML to CSV format
Can any one give the idea on this, please.


I have the following XML file and wants to convert into CSV(comma separated value) format.
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE Waveset PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
<Waveset>
<Object name='ra8736'>
  <Attribute name='ADDRESS' value='N'/>
  <Attribute name='AVAILABLE' value='Y'/>
  <Attribute name='DOB' value='19790608'/>
  <Attribute name='DEPARTMENT'>
    <List>
      <String>A</String>
      <String>B</String>
      <String>C</String>
    </List>
  </Attribute>
  <Attribute name='EMAIL' value='Y'/>
  <Attribute name='EXTERNAL' value='ra8736'/>
  <Attribute name='FIRSTNAME' value='Ta'/>
  <Attribute name='LASTNAME' value='Batt'/>
  <Attribute name='PASSWD' value='6378ar'/>
  <Attribute name='PHONE' value='N'/>
  <Attribute name='USERID' value='ra8736'/>
  <Attribute name='password'>
    <EncryptedData>1EBAA6BFE64E7639:5419E216:11B575EA443:-7FFB|3Vny+ukWUEPnat0v7Z+5vA==</EncryptedData>
  </Attribute>
</Object>
<Object name='ug7444'>
  <Attribute name='ADDRESS' value='N'/>
  <Attribute name='AVAILABLE' value='Y'/>
  <Attribute name='DOB' value='19320101'/>
  <Attribute name='DEPARTMENT' value='E'/>
  <Attribute name='EXTERNAL' value='ug7444'/>
  <Attribute name='FIRSTNAME' value='Zel'/>
  <Attribute name='LASTNAME' value='dee'/>
  <Attribute name='PASSWD' value='4447gu'/>
  <Attribute name='USERID' value='ug7444'/>
  <Attribute name='password'>
    <EncryptedData>1EBAA6BFE64E7639:5419E216:11B575EA443:-7FFB|Lq/Ql84BRK651SXD9xk1KA==</EncryptedData>
  </Attribute>
</Object>
<Object name='vb9838'>
  <Attribute name='password'>
    <EncryptedData>1EBAA6BFE64E7639:5419E216:11B575EA443:-7FFB|JFQ3UBXuwAWDUwpSPn+cRw==</EncryptedData>
  </Attribute>
</Object>
</Waveset>

The CSV format of each object from the above XML file should look like the following;

Code:
id|ADDRESS|AVAILABLE|DOB|DEPARTMENT|EMAIL|EXTERNAL|FIRSTNAME|LASTNAME|PASSWD|PHONE|USERID|password
ra8736|N|Y|19790608|A,B,C|Y|ra8736|Ta|Batt|6378ar|N|ra8736|1EBAA6BFE64E7639:5419E216:11B575EA443:-7FFB|3Vny+ukWUEPnat0v7Z+5vA==
ug7444|N|Y|19320101|E||ug7444|Zel|dee|4447gu||ug7444|1EBAA6BFE64E7639:5419E216:11B575EA443:-7FFB|Lq/Ql84BRK651SXD9xk1KA==
vb9838||||||||||||1EBAA6BFE64E7639:5419E216:11B575EA443:-7FFB|JFQ3UBXuwAWDUwpSPn+cRw==

Could you please help me how can I convert XML file to CSV in perl? If you have a perl sample code, that will be a great help.

Thanks for your help in advance.

LEARN ABOUT SUSE

xml::handler::canonxmlwriter

XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter(3) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter(3)

NAME

       XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter - output XML in canonical XML format

SYNOPSIS

	use XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter;

	$writer = XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter OPTIONS;
	$parser->parse(Handler => $writer);

DESCRIPTION

       "XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter" is a PerlSAX handler that will return a string or write a stream of canonical XML for an XML instance and
       it's content.

       "XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter" objects hold the options used for writing the XML objects.  Options can be supplied when the the object is
       created,

	   $writer = new XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter PrintComments => 1;

       or modified at any time before calling the parser's `"parse()"' method:

	   $writer->{PrintComments} = 0;

OPTIONS

       IOHandle
	   IOHandle contains a handle for writing the canonical XML to.  If an IOHandle is not provided, the canonical XML string will be returned
	   from `"parse()"'.

       PrintComments
	   By default comments are not written to the output.  Setting comment to a true value will include comments in the output.
