Free xml extractor software for linux

Flat File Extractor can be used for reading different flat file structures and printing them in different formats. ffe is a command line tool developed in GNU/Linux environment and it is distributed under GNU General Public License 2 or later.
Main areas of use are:
- Extracting particular fields or records from a flat file
- Converting data from one format to an other, e.g. from CSV to fixed length
- Verifying a flat file structure
- Testing tool for flat file development
- Displaying flat file content in human readable form
Main features:
- Command-line tool
- Reads standard input and writes to standard output as default
- One input file can contain several types of records (lines)
- Fields in a flat file can be fixed length or separated
- Input file structure and output definitions are independent, meaning one output format can be used with several input files
- Input file structure and output format are freely configurable, they are not predefined
- Output can be formatted e.g. as: fixed length, separated, tokenized, XML, SQL,...
- ffe tries to guess the input format, user needs not to give it as a parameter
Enhancements:

XML::Structured is a simple conversion API from XML to perl structures and back.

SYNOPSIS

use XML::Structured;

$dtd = [
element =>
attribute1,
attribute2,
[],
element1,
[ element2 ],
[ element3 =>
...
],
[[ element4 =>
...
]],
];

$hashref = XMLin($dtd, $xmlstring);
$hashref = XMLinfile($dtd, $filename_or_glob);
$xmlstring = XMLout($dtd, $hashref);

The XML::Structured module provides a way to convert xml data into a predefined perl data structure and back to xml. Unlike with modules like XML::Simple it is an error if the xml data does not match the provided skeleton (the "dtd"). Another advantage is that the order of the attributes and elements is taken from the dtd when converting back to xml.

XML::Generator::vCard is a Perl module that can generate SAX2 events for vCard 3.0

SYNOPSIS

use XML::Generator::vCard;

my $writer = XML::SAX::Writer->new();
my $driver = XML::Generator::vCard->new(Handler=>$writer);

$driver->parse_files("test.vcf");

Generate SAX2 events for vCard 3.0.

This package supersedes XML::SAXDriver::vCard.
