Editor's review
This software tool converts data between text formats like the CSV, TSV and XML, etc.
This software program lets you automatically convert data between text formats. Text formats that include CSV, TSV and XML using XSLT (Extensible Style sheet Language Transformations). SimpleExport is designed to input any of these delimited text files and output the data in any text format, but most commonly XML. Once the data transformation configurations are set, the conversion process can run as a Windows service or from the command line automatically. Some additional tweaking is possible through designation of custom variables and inserts the values in the output. With this arrangement one could change output settings without the need to change the XSLT every time. That makes the process of importing documents into a document management system quite easy. Document management systems, usually, require formatted data files when importing documents.
This tool will be useful for any XSLT based data format conversion of course. The tool contains templates for couple of well known document management systems. These include the Digitech PaperVision and CompuThink ViewWise document management systems. The Summation DII import file format for litigation support is also handled by the tool. Any other system support can be built easily, you only have to ask the publishers. You can also, always, create one through the XSLT. The system can also move and copy linked files to the output directory for import to a document management system or a CMS. Images are converted to Base64 format and are inserted into the XML file. Base64 lets you encode images as text and can be displayed on web pages without the need for referring to an image file. The interface is simple. Lets you choose the corresponding files and relevant fields. You would not need much time to get familiar. It is a handy tool for conversions.
