+# Python script that provides the download and upload speed of your Wifi
+
+A simple Python script that uses 'xmltodict' module to convert an input xml file into a output json object, and then to a flat csv.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+You will need to install xmltodict. 
+The installation commands are provided in requirements.txt
+
+### How to run the script
+
+First you have to go to the xml2csv directory. Run the following command once you are in project directory
+
+```bash 
+    cd Scripts/Miscellaneous/xml2csv
+```
+
+For Python 3:
+```bash
+    python xml2csv.py xmlFilePath csvFilePath
+```
