xml_to_dict
A simple Python XML to Dictionary parser.
The package is based on this answer from Stack Overflow. It parses entities as well as attributes following this XML-to-JSON "specification".
I just added the from_nest function, which lets you retrieve a value from the nested dictionaries.
Install
pip3 install xml_to_dict --userUsage
from xml_to_dict import XMLtoDict
sample_xml = (
'<response>'
'<results>'
'<user>'
'<name>Ezequiel</name>'
'<age>33</age>'
'<city>San Isidro</city>'
'</user>'
'<user>'
'<name>Belén</name>'
'<age>30</age>'
'<city>San Isidro</city>'
'</user>'
'</results>'
'</response>'
)
parser = XMLtoDict()
print(parser.parse(sample_xml)) # {'response': {'results': {'user': [{'name': 'Ezequiel', 'age': '33', 'city': 'San Isidro'}, {'name': 'Belén', 'age': '30', 'city': 'San Isidro'}]}}}
print(parser.value_from_nest('.*ser', sample_xml)) # [{'name': 'Ezequiel', 'age': '33', 'city': 'San Isidro'}, {'name': 'Belén', 'age': '30', 'city': 'San Isidro'}]Contributing
