Xml2jupyter: Mapping parameters between XML and Jupyter widgets.

ABSTRACT: Jupyter Notebooks (Kluyver et al., 2016, Perkel (2018)) provide executable documents (in a variety of programming languages) that can be run in a web browser. When a notebook contains graphical widgets, it becomes an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). Many scientific simulation packages use text-based configuration files to provide parameter values and run at the command line without a graphical interface. Manually editing these files to explore how different values affect a simulation can be burdensome for technical users, and impossible to use for those with other scientific backgrounds. xml2jupyter is a Python package that addresses these scientific bottlenecks. It provides a mapping between configuration files, formatted in the Extensible Markup Language (XML), and Jupyter wid
