Based on input file the xml should be flattend and exploded into multiple csv and stored. The input is an xml which is above and config csv file below. Need to create 3 csv files with corresponding XPATH mentioned in the file XPATH,ColumName,CSV_File_Name,ParentKey /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/integrationTrackingNumber,integrationTrackingNumber,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/referenceCodeForEntity,referenceCodeForEntity,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/attachments/attachment[]/id,id,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/attachments/attachment[]/name,name,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/attachments/attachment[]/size,size,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/source,source,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/entity,entity,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/action,action,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/timestampUTC,timestampUTC,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/zDocBaseVersion,zDocBaseVersion,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/zDocCustomVersion,zDocCustomVersion,integrationEntityHeader.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/integrationTrackingNumber,integrationTrackingNumber,integrationEntityDetailsControlBlock.csv,Y /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/referenceCodeForEntity,referenceCodeForEntity,integrationEntityDetailsControlBlock.csv,Y /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/requestId,requestId,integrationEntityDetailsControlBlock.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/controlBlock/dataProcessingInfo[]/key,key,integrationEntityDetailsControlBlock.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/controlBlock/dataProcessingInfo[]/value,value,integrationEntityDetailsControlBlock.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/id,supplier_id,integrationEntityDetailsControlBlock.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/forms/form[]/id,id,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/forms/form[]/records/record[]/Internalid,Internalid,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/forms/form[]/records/record[]/isDelete,FormId,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/forms/form[]/records/record[]/fields/field[]/id,SupplierFormRecordFieldId,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/forms/form[]/records/record[]/fields/field[]/value,SupplierFormRecordFieldValue,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv, /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/integrationTrackingNumber,integrationTrackingNumber,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv,Y /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/referenceCodeForEntity,referenceCodeForEntity,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv,Y /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/requestId,requestId,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv,Y /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityDetails/supplier/id,supplier_id,integrationEntityDetailsForms.csv,Y  I need to create 3 csv files output from it. The design is to pick each csv file and get the xpath and pick the corresponding value from the xml and fetch it Step 1 - Convert to xml to Json - import json import xmltodict with open("/home/s0998hws/test.xml") as xml_file: data_dict = xmltodict.parse(xml_file.read()) xml_file.close() # generate the object using json.dumps() # corresponding to json data json_data = json.dumps(data_dict) # Write the json data to output # json file with open("data.json", "w") as json_file: json_file.write(json_data) json_file.close() with open('data.json') as f: d = json.load(f)  Step 2 - Normalize using the panda normalize function - using the xpath / converting to . and [] as other delimter and building the columns to be fecthed from the json i.e code will look for /integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity/integrationEntityHeader/integrationTrackingNumber and convert to .integrationEntityHeader.integrationTrackingNumber and with the first [] it will exlode , there on df_1=pd.json_normalize(data=d['integration-outbound:IntegrationEntity']) df_2=df_1[['integrationEntityHeader.integrationTrackingNumber','integrationEntityDetails.supplier.requestId','integrationEntityHeader.referenceCodeForEntity','integrationEntityDetails.supplier.id','integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form']] df_3=df_2.explode('integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form') df_3['integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form.id']=df_3['integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form'].apply(lambda x: x.get('id')) df_3['integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form.records']=df_3['integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form'].apply(lambda x: x.get('records'))  I was trying to use the metadata from the csv file and fecth it but the challenge is df_3['integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form.records.record.Internalid']=df_3['integrationEntityDetails.supplier.forms.form.records.record'].apply(lambda x: x.get('Internalid'))  Failed with Error - Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pandas/core/series.py", line 3848, in apply mapped = lib.map_infer(values, f, convert=convert_dtype) File "pandas/_libs/lib.pyx", line 2327, in pandas._libs.lib.map_infer File "<stdin>", line 1, in <lambda> AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'  The reason is the data from the panda dataframe is having list when and array and it is unable be fecth using the above method.

Answer: The xml is converted to dict and then the parsing logic is written , the reason for this is because the same can be used for json . The stackoverflow is amazingly helpful and the solution is build based on the responses from all these links . For simplicity i have created a 3 level nest xml. This works on Python3 <?xml version="1.0"?><Company><Employee><FirstName>Hal</FirstName><LastName>Thanos</LastName><ContactNo>122131</ContactNo><Email>hal.thanos@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><City>Bangalore</City><State>Karnataka</State><Zip>560212</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>PAS</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee><Employee><FirstName>Iron</FirstName><LastName>Man</LastName><ContactNo>12324</ContactNo><Email>iron.man@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><type>Permanent</type><City>Bangalore</City><State>Karnataka</State><Zip>560212</Zip><forms><form><id>ID3</id><value>LIC</value></form></forms></Address><Address><type>Temporary</type><City>Concord</City><State>NC</State><Zip>28027</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>PAS</value></form><form><id>ID3</id><value>SSN</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>CC</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee></Company> <?xml version="1.0"?><Company><Employee><FirstName>Captain</FirstName><LastName>America</LastName><ContactNo>13322</ContactNo><Email>captain.america@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><City>Trivandrum</City><State>Kerala</State><Zip>28115</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>PAS</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee><Employee><FirstName>Sword</FirstName><LastName>Man</LastName><ContactNo>12324</ContactNo><Email>sword.man@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><type>Permanent</type><City>Bangalore</City><State>Karnataka</State><Zip>560212</Zip><forms><form><id>ID3</id><value>LIC</value></form></forms></Address><Address><type>Temporary</type><City>Concord</City><State>NC</State><Zip>28027</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>PAS</value></form><form><id>ID3</id><value>SSN</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>CC</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee></Company> <?xml version="1.0"?><Company><Employee><FirstName>Thor</FirstName><LastName>Odison</LastName><ContactNo>156565</ContactNo><Email>thor.odison@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><City>Tirunelveli</City><State>TamilNadu</State><Zip>36595</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>PAS</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee><Employee><FirstName>Spider</FirstName><LastName>Man</LastName><ContactNo>12324</ContactNo><Email>spider.man@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><type>Permanent</type><City>Bangalore</City><State>Karnataka</State><Zip>560212</Zip><forms><form><id>ID3</id><value>LIC</value></form></forms></Address><Address><type>Temporary</type><City>Concord</City><State>NC</State><Zip>28027</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>PAS</value></form><form><id>ID3</id><value>SSN</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>CC</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee></Company> <?xml version="1.0"?><Company><Employee><FirstName>Black</FirstName><LastName>Widow</LastName><ContactNo>16767</ContactNo><Email>black.widow@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><City>Mysore</City><State>Karnataka</State><Zip>12478</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee><Employee><FirstName>White</FirstName><LastName>Man</LastName><ContactNo>5634</ContactNo><Email>white.man@xyz.com</Email><Addresses><Address><type>Permanent</type><City>Bangalore</City><State>Karnataka</State><Zip>560212</Zip><forms><form><id>ID3</id><value>LIC</value></form></forms></Address><Address><type>Temporary</type><City>Concord</City><State>NC</State><Zip>28027</Zip><forms><form><id>ID1</id><value>LIC</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>PAS</value></form><form><id>ID3</id><value>SSN</value></form><form><id>ID2</id><value>CC</value></form></forms></Address></Addresses></Employee></Company>  The config file for this xml is all possible array/multiple level/explode columns should be mentioned as [].
