Dear All,
I'm supporting a project using NVIVO and am wondering if there are good
resources/libraries/packages for moving data out of NVIVO's proprietary
.npv file format and into a non-proprietary interoperable file format. It
seems like NVIVO uses a relational database on the backend so ideally I
would be able to move from .npv -> postgres in order to preserve the data
structure.

It looks like there is a python package - nvivotools
<https://github.com/BarraQDA/nvivotools> - but I'm not sure if it will work
with the latest version of NVIVO.

thanks,

Collin
