XML Processing Modules
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Python's interfaces for processing XML are grouped in the ``xml`` package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is important to note that modules in the :mod:`xml` package require that
|
||
|
|
there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. The Expat parser is
|
||
|
|
included with Python, so the :mod:`xml.parsers.expat` module will always be
|
||
|
|
available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The documentation for the :mod:`xml.dom` and :mod:`xml.sax` packages are the
|
||
|
|
definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX interfaces.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The XML handling submodules are:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* :mod:`xml.etree.ElementTree`: the ElementTree API, a simple and lightweight
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* :mod:`xml.dom`: the DOM API definition
|
||
|
|
* :mod:`xml.dom.minidom`: a lightweight DOM implementation
|
||
|
|
* :mod:`xml.dom.pulldom`: support for building partial DOM trees
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* :mod:`xml.sax`: SAX2 base classes and convenience functions
|
||
|
|
* :mod:`xml.parsers.expat`: the Expat parser binding
