This module allows you to export large amounts of data from Drupal Views. It supports exporting data as CSV, Microsoft XLS, JSON, or XML.
This module provides a way to export large amounts of data from Views in Drupal. It provides a display plugin that can rendered progressively in a batch. The module supports exporting in the following types:
- CSV
- Microsoft XLS (via the Excel Serialization module)
- JSON
- XML
Configuration and usage
See the README.md file in your version of the module for further information about how to configure the module to export data from your views.
Re-maintainership
After a period of not being maintained Views Data Export is being actively maintained, but documentation may be very out of date and there may be long standing bugs or well requested features that are not part of the module. Please bear with us while we get the module and issue queues back in shape.
Important note for batch usage
When using batch mode, it is important to sort the view on a unique identifier, such as nid or uid, to provide consistent results. See #3120563: Inconsistent results when doing batch exports for background info.
History
This module has its roots in the export module that is part of the Views Bonus Pack. However, massive changes were needed to make the batch export functionality work, and so this fork was created. See: http://drupal.org/node/805960
