Usage

Parse a Prelude flat XML file to a Python dictionary.

from prelude_parser import parse_to_dict
data = parse_to_dict("physical_examination.xml")

Parse a Prelude flat XML file into a list of Python class. The name of the class is taken from the form name node in the XML file converted to pascal case. For example a <physical_examination> node will result in a PhysicalExamination class being created.

from prelude_parser import parse_to_classes
data = parse_to_classes("physical_examination.xml")

Parse a Prelude flat XML file into a Pandas DataFrame. This works for Prelude flat XML files that were exported with the "write tables to seperate files" option. In order to use this option prelude-parser either needs to be installed with the pandas extra or the all extras.

from prelude_parser.pandas import to_dataframe
df = to_dataframe("physical_examination.xml")

Parse a Prelude flat XML file into a Polars DataFrame. This works for Prelude flat XML files that were exported with the "write tables to seperate files" option. In order to use this option prelude-parser either needs to be installed with the polars extra or the all extras.

from prelude_parser.polars import to_dataframe
df = to_dataframe("physical_examination.xml")
