parsing XML files in Python also has two ways of Dom and sax, and here's how to parse XML using DOM, which is the DOM generates an XML file, and the next article goes on to explain the DOM parsing xml file.
In generating XML files, we use the following methods primarily to accomplish this.
Main methods
1. Generate XML nodes (node)
Copy Code code as follows:
CreateElement ("Node_name")
2. Add attribute value to Node
Copy Code code as follows:
Node.setattribute ("Att_name", "Arr_value")
3, the node label value (data)
Copy Code code as follows:
createTextNode ("Node_value")
Where the 1th and 3 points after creating the node (node value), you need to add the following method to the location of the pointing node:
Copy Code code as follows:
Prev_node.appendchild (Cur_node)
The prev_node here is to add the node's upper-level node, and Cur_node is the node that is currently being added.
Code Demo
The following code demonstrates how to use the DOM to generate XML, which is a simple version, as follows:
Copy Code code as follows:

Import Xml.dom.minidom as Dom
if __name__ = = "__main__":
doc = Dom.document ()
Root_node = Doc.createelement ("Book_store")
Root_node.setattribute ("name", "Newhua")
Root_node.setattribute ("website", "Http://www.jb51.net")
Doc.appendchild (Root_node)
Book_node = Doc.createelement ("Book1")
Book_name_node = doc.createelement ("name")
Book_name_value = Doc.createtextnode ("Hamlet")
Book_name_node.appendchild (Book_name_value)
Book_node.appendchild (Book_name_node)
Book_author_node = Doc.createelement ("author")
Book_author_value = Doc.createtextnode ("William Shakespeare")
Book_author_node.appendchild (Book_author_value)
Book_node.appendchild (Book_author_node)
Root_node.appendchild (Book_node)
f = open ("Book_store.xml", "W")
F.write (doc.toprettyxml (indent = "\ T", newl = "\ n", encoding = "Utf-8"))
F.close ()
This code will generate a book_store.xml file in the current directory, and I'll post it below:
Copy Code code as follows:
<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "Utf-8"?>
<book_store name= "Newhua" website= "Http://www.jb51.net" >
<book1>
<name>hamlet</name>
<author>william shakespeare</author>
</book1>
</book_store>
Of course once you have mastered these basic methods, we can use a class for better completion, this class we call Xmlgenerator, the code is as follows:

#gen
Myxmlgenerator.genxml ()
The same method will generate a Book_store.xml file in this directory, as follows:
Copy Code code as follows:
<?xml version= "1.0" encoding= "Utf-8"?>
<book_store name= "New Hua" website= "http://www.jb51.net" >
<book>
<name>Hamlet</name>
<author>william shakespeare</author>
<price>$20</price>
<grade>good</grade>
</book>
<book>
<name>shuihu</name>
<author>naian shi</author>
<price>$200</price>
<grade>good</grade>
</book>
</book_store>
This version is a slightly advanced version, but because of the time constraints are still very rough, the reader can play better.
