From LimeSurvey Manual
This export routine was created to facilitate rapid analysis of data collected with LimeSurvey. It creates an XML-file in Stata's proprietary format. This format offers several advantages over importing plain CSV files:
- Data sets are fully labelled including variable labels (question, subquestion) and value labels (answers, if applicable).
- Dates are already transformed to Stata's internal date format and thus can directly be used to calculate differences between days etc.
- Variable names are, if necessary, converted to a Stata compatible format.
- Data formats of variables (string, integer, float, etc.) are already set according to the underlying data (no more numbers encoded as strings!).
