Gramps XML is the Extensible Markup Language XML format designed for storing Gramps data. The goal is to have a fully portable, human- and machine-readable XML format so that the data can be read and written without any loss. In addition, XML format allows for smaller files (if compressed) and for using the version control system for tracking the changes (if uncompressed).
The reason XML is not used by Gramps as the working database ("internal") format is performance, specifically memory considerations.

Gramps XML Resources
Starting with Gramps XML 1.0 Each revision of Gramps XML has its own resource page, with references to that version's DTD and RELAX NG schema. |
Gramps release | XML version | Imports XML version | Database | Example | Changes/Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
master | no change against 4.2 yet | >= 1.0.0 - best 1.7 | 18 | Unreleased example.gramps |
Unreleased |
Note: Commencing with Gramps 3.1.2 all official versions of Gramps XML files can be imported. However, a warning will be given on import of 1.0.0 xml.[1]
Note: For versions of Gramps earlier than 3.1.1 refer to the table to decide which version to use to import a specific version of the xml, consult the table below.
Gramps release | XML version | Imports XML version | Database | Example | Changes/Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
4.2.x | 1.7.0 | >= 1.0.0 - 1.7 | 18 | [2] | added PlaceNames (with Date and Language) Place |
4.1.x | 1.6.0 | >= 1.0.0 - best 1.5.1 | 17 | [3] | added Tags to Event, Place, Repository, Source, and Citation Source/Citation.data became SourceAttributes |
4.0.x | 1.5.0 - 1.5.1 | >= 1.0.0 - best 1.4.0 | 16 | [4] | - |
3.4.x | 1.5.0 - 1.5.1 | >= 1.0.0 - best 1.4.0 | 16 | [5] | Citations support Gramps XML is now idempotent[6].4365 |
3.3.x | 1.4.0 | >= 1.0.0 - best 1.3.0 | 15 | [7] | Added new field "locality" to the Place schema Added surnames to the Name schema (surnames is a list of surnames / prefix and patronymic are moved to the surname) |
3.1.x | 1.3.0 | >= 1.0.0 - best 1.1.0 | 15 | [8] | Added lat/long to places |
3.0.x | 1.2.0 | >= 1.1.0 | 14 | [9] | added newyear to Dates Replace plain text with StyledText in Notes |
2.2.x | 1.1.0-1.1.4 | >= 0.0.0 | [10] | ||
2.0.x | 1.0.0 | >= 0.0.0 | 13 | [11] | changed name formats |
1.0.x | no official version (0.0.0) | - | [12] | ||
0.0.x | beta software (0.0.0) | Unsupported | Unsupported | Unsupported |
Note: To convert an old Gramps XML file you could use VirtualBox or Vmware and the old lgenealogy images from:
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/gramps/
DTD generation
Tool like xml2dtd could help people not familiar with DTD grammar by generating a DTD file from a XML file. New content on Gramps XML could be tested with the tool and be merged on current Gramps DTD.
RELAX NG generation
Tools like trang or NekoDTD could help to convert a Gramps DTD file to a RELAX NG file. Some others tools and up-to-date informations are listed on this page.
Validating Gramps XML file
To validate the Gramps XML file against its DTD, use xmllint program (comes with the libxml2-utils package):
xmllint --noout filename.gramps
If the Gramps XML file does not validate , this indicates an error in either the DTD or the XML Writer. |
Parsing Gramps XML file
- XSLT scripts: gramps exhibit (Michiel Nauta), Ancestors.xsl, Birthday.xsl (Gramps 1.x), Tellico scripts, lxml gramplet, Print Notes, etc ... see XPaths.
- A sample of standalone script (Adam Sampson) which parses a Gramps XML file for drawing a family tree.
- Gramps-php-exporter
- A Joomla! component/module for uploading the Gramps XML database and for showing genealogical information and overviews.
- PhpGedView supports simple output to Gramps XML file format for the Clippings Cart and has an option to download entire Gedcom in Gramps XML form as well as being able to retrieve raw data from the SOAP web service in Gramps XML format. Still a partial support on version 4.3.0.
- Greasemonkey scripts (Michiel Nauta)
- GrampsXMLview is a number of PHP scripts in combination with a Gramps XML database.
- gramps2gource for blurring the line between Genealogy and Software Configuration Management visualisation.
