Here’s an lxml snippet that extracts an attribute as well as element text (your question was a little ambiguous about which one you needed, so I’m including both): from lxml import etree doc = etree.parse(filename) memoryElem = doc.find(‘memory’) print memoryElem.text # element text print memoryElem.get(‘unit’) # attribute You asked (in a comment on Ali Afshar’s … Read more
using System; using System.Linq; using System.Web.Script.Serialization; using System.Xml.Linq; class Program { static void Main() { var xml = @”<Columns> <Column Name=””key1″” DataType=””Boolean””>True</Column> <Column Name=””key2″” DataType=””String””>Hello World</Column> <Column Name=””key3″” DataType=””Integer””>999</Column> </Columns>”; var dic = XDocument .Parse(xml) .Descendants(“Column”) .ToDictionary( c => c.Attribute(“Name”).Value, c => c.Value ); var json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(dic); Console.WriteLine(json); } } produces: {“key1″:”True”,”key2″:”Hello World”,”key3″:”999″} … Read more
This is a common problem with parsers like this one, of “type SAX”, where you have to manually keep track of the current depth of the XML tree you’re in. The problem, as always, is that loading the entire tree in a DOM structure in memory can be impossible, depending on the size of the … Read more
The URI is the namespace name, which identifies the namespace. While, in case of some URI schemes (like http, https, ftp etc.), it would be possible to provide the schema (or other related information), this is “not a goal”: It is not a goal that it be directly usable for retrieval of a schema (if … Read more
You should use LoadXml method, not Load: xmlDoc.LoadXml(myXML); Load method is trying to load xml from a file and LoadXml from a string. You could also use XPath: XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); xmlDoc.LoadXml(xml); string xpath = “myDataz/listS/sog”; var nodes = xmlDoc.SelectNodes(xpath); foreach (XmlNode childrenNode in nodes) { HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(childrenNode.SelectSingleNode(“//field1”).Value); }
You should define source code encoding, add this to the top of your script: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- The reason why it works differently in console and in the IDE is, likely, because of different default encodings set. You can check it by running: import sys print sys.getdefaultencoding() Also see: Why declare unicode by … Read more
NSXMLParser is a SAX parser, meaning it steps through the XML document, and informs you (via delegate methods) of various events (such as starting an xml node, finding attributes, etc). This type of XML processing is best for parsing huge documents, and when you only need to retrieve a tiny amount of data from a … Read more
If you are running under Python 3.2+, you can use itertext. itertext creates a text iterator which loops over this element and all subelements, in document order, and returns all inner text: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET xml=”<tag>Some <a>example</a> text</tag>” tree = ET.fromstring(xml) print(”.join(tree.itertext())) # -> ‘Some example text’ If you are running in a lower … Read more
First, some background. What is a DTD? The document you are trying to parse contains a document type declaration; if you look at the document, you will find near the beginning a sequence of characters beginning with <!DOCTYPE and ending with the corresponding >. Such a declaration allows an XML processor to validate the document … Read more
