I want to save this data to a new xml file through python.
I am using this code:
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.XML(xml_data)
Now Here i want to create a xml file and save the xml tree to the file, but don't know which function to use for this.
Thanks

Creating XML Document using Python First, we import minidom for using xml. dom . Then we create the root element and append it to the XML. After that creating a child product of parent namely Geeks for Geeks.
To read an XML file using ElementTree, firstly, we import the ElementTree class found inside xml library, under the name ET (common convension). Then passed the filename of the xml file to the ElementTree. parse() method, to enable parsing of our xml file. Then got the root (parent tag) of our xml file using getroot().
With ET.tostring(tree) you get a non-formatted string representation of the XML. To save it to a file:
with open("filename", "w") as f:
f.write(ET.tostring(tree))
In python 3.x
The proposed solution won't work unless you specify with open("filename", "wb") as f: instead of with open("filename", "w") as f:
