Legal Code Document Generator

Smart Document Generator

Open Law Library is a DC-based startup (NGO) aiming to make the law widely accessible to all for free in a high-quality format.

As this was indeed a complex library, here are some of the key aspects I've faced:

  • Implemented highly optimized recursive algorithms and handlers in Python for XML processing

  • Optimized and profiled Python handlers for high-volume data transformation, enabling generation of thousand-page documents

  • Employed Test-Driven Development (TDD) to ensure high quality and transformation accuracy

  • Created a Bidirectional XML Transformer with Round-Trip Integrity (XML ↔ DOCX), synchronizing parser and transformer components, putting high emphasis on data integrity checks

  • Extended python-docx library with custom features adhering to OOXML standard, including support for content controls with public contributions: https://github.com/openlawlibrary/python-docx

As all input data is in the public domain, you can see example: https://github.com/DCCouncil/law-xml
