Fast XES File Creation for Process Mining

How can XES event logs be created quickly without manually editing XML files?
This video presents a practical approach for generating XES log files using readily available tooling in the ProM framework.

The video demonstrates how the ProM plugin “Write simple log using editor” can be used to transform textual traces into valid XES event logs. A step-by-step walkthrough illustrates the use of the plugin within the ProM 6.9 environment, enabling fast creation of logs for experimentation, teaching, and introductory process mining analyses.

The approach lowers the entry barrier for working with event logs and supports rapid prototyping without requiring detailed knowledge of the XES XML structure.
