untangle
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
`untangle <http://0chris.com/untangle>`_ is a simple library which takes
|
|
an XML document and returns a Python object which mirrors the nodes and
|
|
attributes in its structure.
|
|
|
|
For example, an xml file like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: xml
|
|
|
|
<?xml version="1.0"?>
|
|
<root>
|
|
<child name="child1">
|
|
</root>
|
|
|
|
can be loaded like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
import untangle
|
|
obj = untangle.parse('path/to/file.xml')
|
|
|
|
and then you can get the child elements name like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
obj.root.child['name']
|
|
|
|
untangle also supports loading XML from a string or an URL.
