Extracting Data from XML in Python

I have XML file containing data from multiple sources which I am trying to extract for analysis. But I am not able to extract the data.

Could anyone enlighten me on the procedure to extract the data while keeping the heading and unit of the data?

The file is attached xml file.

The snap of the data is also attached here:

enter image description here

The only output I can get is the header and I couldn't load the data into python for further analysis. Any help is very much appreciated.

A simple way would be to use xmltodict:

with open("00001.xml", "r") as file:

    raw = file.read()



import xmltodict

data = xmltodict.parse(raw)

print(data)

This prints out:

OrderedDict([('logs',

              OrderedDict([('@xmlns', 'http://www.witsml.org/schemas/1series'),

                           ('@xmlns:xsi',

                            'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'),

                           ('@version', '1.4.1.1'),

                           ('log',

                            OrderedDict([('@uidWell', 'W-508420'),

                                         ('@uidWellbore', 'B-508420'),

                                         ('@uid', 'L-508421-Time'),

                                         ('nameWell', '15/9-F-5'),

                                         ('nameWellbore',

                                          '15/9-F-5 - Main Wellbore'),

                                         ('name', 'Real Time SLB - Time Log'),

                                         ('serviceCompany', 'Schlumberger'),

                                         ('creationDate',

                                          '2007-12-18T13:28:58.000Z'),

You get an ordered dict which values you can access like any other dicts values.

If you want to get tabular data I suggest to use pandas:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(data["logs"])

df.head()
