Hi all,
Is there an easy way to parse xml files in python? Say you have the file
<products>
<item>
CD
<price>
$9.95
</price>
</item>
<item>
DVD
<price>
$14.95
</price>
</item>
</products>
I would like to be able to get as far into the structure as I want, then
have everything below that be a list. For example:
items=xmlFile["products"]
print("item is "+items[0]+" and costs "+items[0]["price"])
I know I am mixing two types of data structures, but you see what I mean, at
least I hope you do. Anyone have suggestions? I have not done a lot with xml
before, but I understand children, nodes, and so on.
Have a great day,
Alex
