XML to YAML Converter

Kept

• The repeating elements (for example every <book>) become the records, and their child tags become fields
• Attributes are kept as fields named @_attribute, for example @_id
• Codes with leading zeros, like 007, stay text instead of turning into 7
• A readable YAML list where each record is an item and each field is a key
• Nested objects and lists keep their structure.

Good to know

• Only the repeating records are exported. The wrapper elements around them (like <catalog>) are dropped.
• Text mixed with tags inside one element is read as a #text field.
• Dates and numbers that were text are quoted where YAML would otherwise change their meaning, such as '007'.
