Read LabView program without LabView

Question

I have a file containing a LabView program and need to understand what it does. Of course it can not be executed without LabView. But is it possible to read a LabView program without Labview?

Answer 1

The parser I made can read VIs, and convert most of the content to XML (including Block Diagram, Front Panel and type definitions used for connectors): https://github.com/mefistotelis/pylabview

It is open-source, and in no way related to NI.

The XML form you get isn't really easy to read, but with the data exported to XML, it should be possible to write a tool which parses it and displays as a diagram, or at least creates an SVG.
