No, unless you have a specific need for an older XMind file format and can accept the risk of unsupported bugs. The package is abandoned (last release January 2019, no commits since August 2023) and will not receive updates for compatibility issues or new XMind features. If you need active maintenance and modern mind map support, look for an actively maintained alternative.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Installation is frictionless with no runtime dependencies.
- However, the package is abandoned—last release was January 2019, with no commits since August 2023.
- It may not work with recent XMind file format versions or Python ecosystem changes.

What it is and what it does
XMind is a Python library for working with XMind mind map files. It lets you load existing .xmind files or create new ones from scratch, then add and organize topics (nodes) into hierarchical structures across multiple sheets. You can attach hyperlinks (to URLs, files, or other topics), notes, labels, markers (icons), and comments to topics, then export the result back to .xmind format or convert it to JSON or dictionary data for inspection or further processing.
The library is pure Python with no external runtime dependencies, making installation straightforward. However, it has been abandoned since early 2019 with no updates since August 2023. This means it may not support newer XMind file formats, and any bugs or incompatibilities with recent Python versions will not be fixed.
Use it for
- Programmatically generate mind maps from data structures or project outlines in Python applications
- Parse existing .xmind files into JSON or Python dictionaries for analysis or transformation
- Automate mind map creation for documentation, project planning, or knowledge management workflows
- Convert mind map data to other formats by loading .xmind and exporting as structured data
