'Build an ASCII from a vtu

I am trying to investigate the connectivity and points data from a Paraview vtu/vtk file by looking at it in ASCII format. Shown in code block below is part of my vtu file. I know how to build a numpy binary file (.npy) from this using python, but does anyone know how to build an ASCII file?

When I open the vtu file in a text editor, it says that it is in XML format.
