There are two ways to parse the file using 'ElementTree' module. The first is by using the parse() function and the second is fromstring() function. The parse () function parses XML document which is supplied as a file whereas, fromstring parses XML when supplied as a string i.e within triple quotes.
The dict() is generally used to create a data dictionary to hold data in key-value pairs. It results in a good mapping between key and value pairs. In web applications, XML (Extensible Markup Language) is used in many fields. We can easily render data stored in XML.
xmltodict is a Python module that makes working with XML feel like you are working with JSON, as in this "spec": >>> print(json. dumps(xmltodict.
I'm trying to generate customized xml files from a template xml file in python.
Conceptually, I want to read in the template xml, remove some elements, change some text attributes, and write the new xml out to a file. I wanted it to work something like this:
conf_base = ConvertXmlToDict('config-template.xml')
conf_base_dict = conf_base.UnWrap()
del conf_base_dict['root-name']['level1-name']['leaf1']
del conf_base_dict['root-name']['level1-name']['leaf2']
conf_new = ConvertDictToXml(conf_base_dict)
now I want to write to file, but I don't see how to get to ElementTree.ElementTree.write()
conf_new.write('config-new.xml')
Is there some way to do this, or can someone suggest doing this a different way?
