As a developer, working with XML files can often be very cumbersome, especially if they're of a larger size. SimpleXML may work fine for smaller files, or the occasional use, but when you want to parse larger XML files, or at a more frequent basis, it just doesn't cut it and as far as I am aware, there hasn't really been any open source tools specifically designed to tackle the Open Tibia server XML files at a decent pace. Thus, I decided to create my own exporter to convert these files into PHP arrays and/or JSON objects.
I don't know how many of you would benefit from this, but I thought I may as well share it and see what happens. I'm sure I've missed a couple of vital files, or attributes within the files themselves, so feel free to point out any error you may encounter.
https://github.com/pandaac/exporter
As of right now, the parsers that I've managed to develop are; Commands, Groups, Items, Monster, Monsters, Mounts, Outfits, Quests, Spells, Stages & Vocations. You may find all of the examples (and their respective example output) on the GitHub repository wiki, but as to give you a small sample, here's an example of how to parse the demon.xml file.
and what it outputs (in JSON);
I hope this may benefit at least some of you, whether you're developing an AAC or a simple tool of sorts. 
PS. It is very much recommended to cache the result in some form or another.
PSS. It is also worth noting that the current version only officially supports The Forgotten Server 1.1.
