Hi Sushant,
Currently, the new licenses are manually added in XML. There was a tool written some time ago by Kris Reeves using NodeJS to convert license text into XML. It uses the MIT license and can be found at https://github.com/myndzi/license-tool. This was written to convert the original spreadsheet and text format of SPDX licenses to an earlier version of the license XML format. Since we changed some of the XML format after the tool was written, the tool currently doesn’t conform to the license XML schema (which can be found at https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML/blob/master/schema/ListedLicense.xsd) You may be borrow some of the code and/or design ideas – if you do, please attribute the source and include the MIT license.

I wanted to ask how are the new licenses converted to XML? Is it one manually or using some tool? -- Best regards, Sushant Gupta BCSE - IV Jadavpur University, Kolkata Website : http://sushantgupta.site <http://sushantgupta.site/> T: (+91) 94755 16199
