:mod:`xml.etree.ElementTree` --- The ElementTree XML API
========================================================
.. module:: xml.etree.ElementTree
:synopsis: Implementation of the ElementTree API.
.. moduleauthor:: Fredrik Lundh <fredrik@pythonware.com>
2011-02-10 04:09:36 -04:00
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/xml/etree/ElementTree.py`
--------------
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The :class:`Element` type is a flexible container object, designed to store
hierarchical data structures in memory. The type can be described as a cross
between a list and a dictionary.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Each element has a number of properties associated with it:
* a tag which is a string identifying what kind of data this element represents
(the element type, in other words).
* a number of attributes, stored in a Python dictionary.
* a text string.
* an optional tail string.
* a number of child elements, stored in a Python sequence
To create an element instance, use the :class:`Element` constructor or the
:func:`SubElement` factory function.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The :class:`ElementTree` class can be used to wrap an element structure, and
convert it from and to XML.
A C implementation of this API is available as :mod:`xml.etree.cElementTree`.

.. _elementtree-functions:
Functions
---------
.. function:: Comment(text=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00

2009-01-01 11:05:06 -04:00
.. note::
:func:`iterparse` only guarantees that it has seen the ">"
character of a starting tag when it emits a "start" event, so the
attributes are defined, but the contents of the text and tail attributes
are undefined at that point. The same applies to the element children;
they may or may not be present.
If you need a fully populated element, look for "end" events instead.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. function:: parse(source, parser=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Parses an XML section into an element tree. *source* is a filename or file
object containing XML data. *parser* is an optional parser instance. If
not given, the standard :class:`XMLParser` parser is used. Returns an
:class:`ElementTree` instance.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. function:: ProcessingInstruction(target, text=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
PI element factory. This factory function creates a special element that
will be serialized as an XML processing instruction. *target* is a string
containing the PI target. *text* is a string containing the PI contents, if
given. Returns an element instance, representing a processing instruction.
.. function:: register_namespace(prefix, uri)
Registers a namespace prefix. The registry is global, and any existing
mapping for either the given prefix or the namespace URI will be removed.
*prefix* is a namespace prefix. *uri* is a namespace uri. Tags and
attributes in this namespace will be serialized with the given prefix, if at
all possible.
2010-03-21 04:16:43 -03:00
.. versionadded:: 3.2
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. function:: SubElement(parent, tag, attrib={}, **extra)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Subelement factory. This function creates an element instance, and appends
it to an existing element.
The element name, attribute names, and attribute values can be either
bytestrings or Unicode strings. *parent* is the parent element. *tag* is
the subelement name. *attrib* is an optional dictionary, containing element
attributes. *extra* contains additional attributes, given as keyword
arguments. Returns an element instance.
.. function:: tostring(element, encoding="us-ascii", method="xml")
Generates a string representation of an XML element, including all
subelements. *element* is an :class:`Element` instance. *encoding* [1]_ is
the output encoding (default is US-ASCII). Use ``encoding="unicode"`` to
generate a Unicode string. *method* is either ``"xml"``,
``"html"`` or ``"text"`` (default is ``"xml"``). Returns an (optionally)
encoded string containing the XML data.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. function:: tostringlist(element, encoding="us-ascii", method="xml")
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Generates a string representation of an XML element, including all
subelements. *element* is an :class:`Element` instance. *encoding* [1]_ is
the output encoding (default is US-ASCII). Use ``encoding="unicode"`` to
generate a Unicode string. *method* is either ``"xml"``,
``"html"`` or ``"text"`` (default is ``"xml"``). Returns a list of
(optionally) encoded strings containing the XML data. It does not guarantee
any specific sequence, except that ``"".join(tostringlist(element)) ==
tostring(element)``.

:class:`Element` instance and a dictionary.
.. _elementtree-element-objects:
Element Objects
---------------
.. class:: Element(tag, attrib={}, **extra)
Element class. This class defines the Element interface, and provides a
reference implementation of this interface.
The element name, attribute names, and attribute values can be either
bytestrings or Unicode strings. *tag* is the element name. *attrib* is
an optional dictionary, containing element attributes. *extra* contains
additional attributes, given as keyword arguments.
.. attribute:: tag
A string identifying what kind of data this element represents (the
element type, in other words).
.. attribute:: text
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The *text* attribute can be used to hold additional data associated with
the element. As the name implies this attribute is usually a string but
may be any application-specific object. If the element is created from
an XML file the attribute will contain any text found between the element
tags.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. attribute:: tail
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The *tail* attribute can be used to hold additional data associated with
the element. This attribute is usually a string but may be any
application-specific object. If the element is created from an XML file
the attribute will contain any text found after the element's end tag and
before the next tag.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. attribute:: attrib
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
A dictionary containing the element's attributes. Note that while the
*attrib* value is always a real mutable Python dictionary, an ElementTree
implementation may choose to use another internal representation, and
create the dictionary only if someone asks for it. To take advantage of
such implementations, use the dictionary methods below whenever possible.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The following dictionary-like methods work on the element attributes.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: clear()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Resets an element. This function removes all subelements, clears all
attributes, and sets the text and tail attributes to None.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: get(key, default=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Gets the element attribute named *key*.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Returns the attribute value, or *default* if the attribute was not found.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: items()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Returns the element attributes as a sequence of (name, value) pairs. The
attributes are returned in an arbitrary order.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: keys()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Returns the elements attribute names as a list. The names are returned
in an arbitrary order.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: set(key, value)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Set the attribute *key* on the element to *value*.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
The following methods work on the element's children (subelements).
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: append(subelement)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Adds the element *subelement* to the end of this elements internal list
of subelements.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: extend(subelements)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Appends *subelements* from a sequence object with zero or more elements.
Raises :exc:`AssertionError` if a subelement is not a valid object.

or path. Returns an element instance or ``None``.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: findall(match)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Finds all matching subelements, by tag name or path. Returns a list
containing all matching elements in document order.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: findtext(match, default=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Finds text for the first subelement matching *match*. *match* may be
a tag name or path. Returns the text content of the first matching
element, or *default* if no element was found. Note that if the matching
element has no text content an empty string is returned.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: getchildren()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. deprecated:: 3.2
Use ``list(elem)`` or iteration.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: getiterator(tag=None)
.. deprecated:: 3.2
Use method :meth:`Element.iter` instead.
.. method:: insert(index, element)
Inserts a subelement at the given position in this element.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: iter(tag=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Creates a tree :term:`iterator` with the current element as the root.
The iterator iterates over this element and all elements below it, in
document (depth first) order. If *tag* is not ``None`` or ``'*'``, only
elements whose tag equals *tag* are returned from the iterator. If the
tree structure is modified during iteration, the result is undefined.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: iterfind(match)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00

yielding all matching elements in document order.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
2010-03-21 04:16:43 -03:00
.. versionadded:: 3.2
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: itertext()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Creates a text iterator. The iterator loops over this element and all
subelements, in document order, and returns all inner text.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
2010-03-21 04:16:43 -03:00
.. versionadded:: 3.2
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: makeelement(tag, attrib)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Creates a new element object of the same type as this element. Do not
call this method, use the :func:`SubElement` factory function instead.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: remove(subelement)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Removes *subelement* from the element. Unlike the find\* methods this
method compares elements based on the instance identity, not on tag value
or contents.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:class:`Element` objects also support the following sequence type methods
for working with subelements: :meth:`__delitem__`, :meth:`__getitem__`,
:meth:`__setitem__`, :meth:`__len__`.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Caution: Elements with no subelements will test as ``False``. This behavior
will change in future versions. Use specific ``len(elem)`` or ``elem is
None`` test instead. ::
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
element = root.find('foo')
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
if not element: # careful!

*default* is the value to return if the element was not found. Returns
the text content of the first matching element, or the default value no
element was found. Note that if the element is found, but has no text
content, this method returns an empty string.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: getiterator(tag=None)

.. method:: parse(source, parser=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Loads an external XML section into this element tree. *source* is a file
name or :term:`file object`. *parser* is an optional parser instance.
If not given, the standard XMLParser parser is used. Returns the section
root element.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: write(file, encoding="us-ascii", xml_declaration=None, method="xml")
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Writes the element tree to a file, as XML. *file* is a file name, or a
:term:`file object` opened for writing. *encoding* [1]_ is the output encoding
(default is US-ASCII). Use ``encoding="unicode"`` to write a Unicode string.
*xml_declaration* controls if an XML declaration
should be added to the file. Use False for never, True for always, None
for only if not US-ASCII or UTF-8 or Unicode (default is None). *method* is
either ``"xml"``, ``"html"`` or ``"text"`` (default is ``"xml"``).
Returns an (optionally) encoded string.

.. _elementtree-qname-objects:
QName Objects
-------------
.. class:: QName(text_or_uri, tag=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
QName wrapper. This can be used to wrap a QName attribute value, in order
to get proper namespace handling on output. *text_or_uri* is a string
containing the QName value, in the form {uri}local, or, if the tag argument
is given, the URI part of a QName. If *tag* is given, the first argument is
interpreted as an URI, and this argument is interpreted as a local name.
:class:`QName` instances are opaque.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. _elementtree-treebuilder-objects:
TreeBuilder Objects
-------------------
.. class:: TreeBuilder(element_factory=None)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Generic element structure builder. This builder converts a sequence of
start, data, and end method calls to a well-formed element structure. You
can use this class to build an element structure using a custom XML parser,
or a parser for some other XML-like format. The *element_factory* is called
to create new :class:`Element` instances when given.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: close()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Flushes the builder buffers, and returns the toplevel document
element. Returns an :class:`Element` instance.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: data(data)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Adds text to the current element. *data* is a string. This should be
either a bytestring, or a Unicode string.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: end(tag)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Closes the current element. *tag* is the element name. Returns the
closed element.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: start(tag, attrs)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Opens a new element. *tag* is the element name. *attrs* is a dictionary
containing element attributes. Returns the opened element.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
In addition, a custom :class:`TreeBuilder` object can provide the
following method:
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: doctype(name, pubid, system)
Handles a doctype declaration. *name* is the doctype name. *pubid* is
the public identifier. *system* is the system identifier. This method
does not exist on the default :class:`TreeBuilder` class.
2010-03-21 04:16:43 -03:00

.. _elementtree-xmlparser-objects:
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
XMLParser Objects
-----------------
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. class:: XMLParser(html=0, target=None, encoding=None)
:class:`Element` structure builder for XML source data, based on the expat
parser. *html* are predefined HTML entities. This flag is not supported by
the current implementation. *target* is the target object. If omitted, the
builder uses an instance of the standard TreeBuilder class. *encoding* [1]_
is optional. If given, the value overrides the encoding specified in the
XML file.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: close()
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Finishes feeding data to the parser. Returns an element structure.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: doctype(name, pubid, system)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. deprecated:: 3.2
Define the :meth:`TreeBuilder.doctype` method on a custom TreeBuilder
target.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
.. method:: feed(data)
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
Feeds data to the parser. *data* is encoded data.
2007-08-15 11:28:22 -03:00
:meth:`XMLParser.feed` calls *target*\'s :meth:`start` method

The long double is still there, but OSX 10.4's gcc no longer warns about it. * r33666 fixed issue 775892 on OSX 10.3 by adding -mno-fused-madd, which changed the sign of some float 0s.
