Want to convert xml to csv format

Hello to all !! I want to convert an xml file to csv format.Can any one help me ..

Do you want to turn the elements of the XML into CSV in the same order or do you need to manipulate the data first?
Have you read any Java and XML tutorials? Bought a book?

XSLT can be used to tramsform XML to CSV. For an example, check "XML Databases" (published by Wrox), chapter 12.

First of all thanks for the reply...
I have read the xml file using sax parser and want to save the all the read elements/attributes & values and characters in csv format..
Suggestions will be a great help

If you want all the contents with various bits separated by commas, just write to an output file from every startElement and characters method. In order to get the commas in the right place you will have to pay attention to the nesting of elements.
On the other hand if you are trying to prepare data for interpretation in Excel, you need to think about what you want the resulting spreadsheet to look like.

Check out apache web site for Xalan samples (http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/index.html). This site has good samples showing how to convert XML into structured text format. You can change sample code to get your CSV format.
Good luck
