Django: Dump your database contents to(SQL data) into an xml file

To dump all the data in your Django project's db into a nice xml fixture, just run the following command:

python manage.py dumpdata --format=xml APP_NAME > SOME_FIXTURES_FOLDER/APP_NAME/initial_data.xml

Update:

As Fabi[1] correctly (and violently jeje :-P) pointed out, json is much cooler:

python manage.py dumpdata --indent=4 data.json
