:mod:`xml.dom.minidom` is a light-weight implementation of the Document Object
Model interface. It is intended to be simpler than the full DOM and also

.. note::
The :mod:`xml.dom.minidom` module provides an implementation of the W3C-DOM,
with an API similar to that in other programming languages. Users who are

for processing XML files should consider using the
:mod:`xml.etree.ElementTree` module instead.
