{title:Description}

{p}
{cmd:unicefdata_xmltoyaml_py} is the Python implementation of XML-to-YAML conversion
for SDMX structure definitions.
{p_end}

{p}
This command is a high-performance alternative to {cmd:unicefdata_xmltoyaml} when
Python is available. It provides faster conversion for large dataflow structures.

{marker options}{...}
{title:Options}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:input(}{it:string}{cmd:)} is required. Path to input XML file.

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:output(}{it:string}{cmd:)} is required. Path to output YAML file.

{p 4 4 2}{opt noisily} displays conversion progress messages.

{marker examples}{...}
{title:Examples}

{p 4 4 2}
Run Python-based conversion:
{p_end}

{p 8 12 2}
{cmd:. unicefdata_xmltoyaml_py, input(structure.xml) output(structure.yml)}
{p_end}

{title:Technical Details}

{p}
Requires Python 3.6+ with {cmd:yaml} and {cmd:xml.etree.ElementTree} modules.
Falls back to Stata implementation if Python is unavailable.
