Taxonomy CSV import/export
This module allows you to import or export taxonomy from or to a CSV (comma-separated values) file or with a copy-and-paste text.
When you want to import a vocabulary, a taxonomy or a simple list of terms in your Drupal site, you have two main choices: taxonomy_xml and taxonomy_csv.
Taxonomy xml is perfect for standardized taxonomies and vocabularies. Despite its name, it can import csv files too, but only if they are ISO 2788 formated.
So when you want to quick import a non-standardized vocabulary, for example an old thesaurus or a simple list of children, synonyms, descriptions, weights or related terms to terms, it's simpler to use taxonomy csv as a module or as an API.
A third module exists: Taxonomy batch operations. It allows you to import a list of term by a text area, but its last version is only for Drupal 5.x. From version 6.x-3.0, taxonomy_csv integrates a text area in order to let user choose user interface he prefers.
For export, you can use Taxonomy XML too or one of backup modules. Taxonomy CSV is a more specialised tool which allows more precise tuning.
This module can be used as an API. You can use the full api as a dependance or use the light version taxonomy_csv.line.api.inc directly in your module, as this:
$result = taxonomy_csv_line_import(
array(Europe, France, Paris),
array(
'import_format' => 'tree_structure',
'vocabulary_id' => 2,
'existing_items' => 'update_replace',
));Possible formats are explained in comments or in help.
More informations are available on the help page in English or in French.
Use at your risk. It's always recommended to backup your site so you can roll back if necessary, even if you can autocreate a vocabulary in order to test the import process.
