About xc-convert

xc-convert is a simple utility tool to convert Nokia system generated XML files in to CSV files and vice versa.

Documentation

The application uses "importer" and "exporter" classes for the front-end and the back-end, respectively. An SQLite database acts as the middle-tier, providing a sophisticated and optimised layer for data storage and various other operations.

Input  --->  File Importer  ---> Database  --->  File Exporter  ---> Output
File                                                                  File

Input File can be an XML or a CSV file and a subclass of FileImporter can be used to parse and import the file into the database. XmlImporter and CsvImporter classes are children of FileImporter class.

CsvExporter and XmlExporter classes are derived from FileExporter. They read the data from the database (with the help of DBManager class) and writes into a CSV and XML file, respectively.
