Python3之XML模块
一.简介
xml是实现不同语言或程序之间进行数据交换的协议，可扩展标记语言，标准通用标记语言的子集。是一种用于标记电子文件使其具有结构性的标记语言。xml格式如下，是通过<>节点来区别数据结构的。
XML文件示例：

<?xml version="1.0"?><data> # data 是根节点 <>开头<>结尾就表示为一个节点 <country name="Liechtenstein"> # country节点,name是节点的属性，属性可以有多个，属性值必须用引号 <rank updated="yes">2</rank> # rank节点，updated是节点的属性，2表示文本内容 <year>2023</year> <gdppc>141100</gdppc> <neighbor direction="E" name="Austria" /> <neighbor direction="W" name="Switzerland" /> </country> <country name="Singapore"> <rank updated="yes">5</rank> <year>2026</year> <gdppc>59900</gdppc> <neighbor direction="N" name="Malaysia" /> </country> <country name="Panama"> <rank updated="yes">69</rank> <year>2026</year> <gdppc>13600</gdppc> <neighbor direction="W" name="Costa Rica" /> <neighbor direction="E" name="Colombia" /> </country></data> |
二.XML文件处理
1.XML文件解析
XML文件解析的两种方式：
- 解析字符串方式
- 解析文件方式

a.解析字符串方式# 加载模块，设置一个别名from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET# 打开文件，读取XML内容，print(str_xml)则获得整个xml文件中的内容，str_xml是个字符串str_xml = open('xo.xml', 'r').read()# 将字符串解析成xml特殊对象，root代指xml文件的根节点，print(root)将获取根节点的内存地址，print(root.tag)可以获取根节点的名称root = ET.XML(str_xml)b.解析文件方式from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET# 直接解析xml文件tree = ET.parse("xo.xml")# 获取xml文件的根节点root = tree.getroot() |
2.XML文件操作
XML格式类型是节点嵌套节点，对于每一个节点均有以下功能，以便对当前节点进行操作

3.修改节点内容
由于修改节点时，都在内存中进行，不会影响原文件中的内容。如果想要保存修改，则会要将内存中的内容写入文件。
