How to convert an XML file to nice pandas dataframe

import pandas as pd
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import io

def iter_docs(author):
    author_attr = author.attrib
    for doc in author.iter('document'):
        doc_dict = author_attr.copy()
        doc_dict.update(doc.attrib)
        doc_dict['data'] = doc.text
        yield doc_dict

xml_data = io.StringIO(u'''YOUR XML STRING HERE''')

etree = ET.parse(xml_data) #create an ElementTree object 
doc_df = pd.DataFrame(list(iter_docs(etree.getroot())))
