XML to Grid Sublime Text Plugin

Primary LanguagePython

Sublime Text - XML to Grid Plugin

Features:

  • Display the current XML file as a grid or as a CSV file in a new view.

Settings:

  • include_attributes - Whether or not to show attributes in the grid.
  • field_separator - The field separator to use. Use a space to line up the fields. Anything else will create a CSV-like file.

How it works:

It finds the first element in document order that contains multiple children, and treats these children as rows for when it creates the grid.

Example

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
  <User id="1">
    <FirstName>Fred</FirstName>
    <LastName>Bloggs</LastName>
    <UserName>bloggsf</UserName>
    <Address>
      <BuildingNumber>12</BuildingNumber>
      <Street>The Street</Street>
      <Town>Exampletown</Town>
    </Address>
  </User>
  <User id="3">
    <UserName>bloggsj</UserName>
    <FirstName>Joe</FirstName>
    <LastName>Bloggs</LastName>
    <Address>
      <BuildingNumber>9</BuildingNumber>
      <Street>Somewhere Else</Street>
      <Town>Exampletown</Town>
      <PostCode>TY12 6UA</PostCode>
    </Address>
