有如下的xml文件：

复制代码 代码如下:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

下面介绍python解析xml文件的几种方法，使用python模块实现。

方式1，python模块实现自动遍历所有节点：

复制代码 代码如下:

!/usr/bin/env python

-- coding: utf-8 --

from xml.sax.handler import ContentHandler
from xml.sax import parse
class TestHandle(ContentHandler):
def init(self, inlist):
self.inlist = inlist

def startElement(self,name,attrs):
print 'name:',name, 'attrs:',attrs.keys()

def endElement(self,name):
print 'endname',name

def characters(self,chars):
print 'chars',chars
self.inlist.append(chars)

if name == 'main':
lt = []
parse('test.xml', TestHandle(lt))
print lt

结果：
[html] view plaincopy
name: root attrs: []
chars

name: childs attrs: []
chars

name: child attrs: [u'name']
chars 1
endname child
chars

name: child attrs: [u'value']
chars 2
endname child
chars

endname childs
chars

endname root
[u'\n', u'\n', u'1', u'\n', u'2', u'\n', u'\n']

方式2，python模块实现获取根节点，按需查找指定节点：

复制代码 代码如下:

!/usr/bin/env python

-- coding: utf-8 --

from xml.dom import minidom
xmlstr = '''''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

/2/photos/square/type.xml 21301 auth faild! ''' def doxml(xmlstr): dom = minidom.parseString(xmlstr) print 'Dom:' print dom.toxml() root = dom.firstChild print 'root:' print root.toxml() childs = root.childNodes for child in childs: print child.toxml() if child.nodeType == child.TEXT_NODE: pass else: print 'child node attribute name:', child.getAttribute('name') print 'child node name:', child.nodeName print 'child node len:',len(child.childNodes) print 'child data:',child.childNodes[0].data print '=======================================' print 'more help info to see:' for med in dir(child): print help(med) if __name__ == '__main__': doxml(xmlstr) 结果： [html] view plaincopy Dom: /2/photos/square/type.xml 21301 auth faild! root: /2/photos/square/type.xml 21301 auth faild!

/2/photos/square/type.xml
child node attribute name: first
child node name: request
child node len: 1

child data: /2/photos/square/type.xml

两种方法各有其优点，python的xml处理模块太多，目前只用到这2个。

=====补充分割线================
实际工作中发现python的mimidom无法解析其它编码的xml，只能解析utf-8的编码，而其xml文件的头部申明也必须是utf-8，为其它编码会报错误。
网上的解决办法都是替换xml文件头部的编码申明，然后转换编码为utf-8再用minidom解码，实际测试为可行，不过有点累赘的感觉。

本节是 python解析xml模块封装代码 的第二部分。
====写xml内容的分割线=========

复制代码 代码如下:

!\urs\bin\env python

encoding: utf-8

from xml.dom import minidom

class xmlwrite:
def init(self, resultfile):
self.resultfile = resultfile
self.rootname = 'api'
self.__create_xml_dom()

def __create_xml_dom(self):
xmlimpl = minidom.getDOMImplementation()
self.dom = xmlimpl.createDocument(None, self.rootname, None)
self.root = self.dom.documentElement

def __get_spec_node(self, xpath):
patharr = xpath.split(r'/')
parentnode = self.root
exist = 1
for nodename in patharr:
if nodename.strip() == '':
continue
if not exist:
return None
spcindex = nodename.find('[')
if spcindex > -1:
index = int(nodename[spcindex+1:-1])
else:
index = 0
count = 0
childs = parentnode.childNodes
for child in childs:
if child.nodeName == nodename[:spcindex]:
if count == index:
parentnode = child
exist = 1
break
count += 1
continue
else:
exist = 0
return parentnode

def write_node(self, parent, nodename, value, attribute=None, CDATA=False):
node = self.dom.createElement(nodename)
if value:
if CDATA:
nodedata = self.dom.createCDATASection(value)
else:
nodedata = self.dom.createTextNode(value)
node.appendChild(nodedata)
if attribute and isinstance(attribute, dict):
for key, value in attribute.items():
node.setAttribute(key, value)
try:
parentnode = self.__get_spec_node(parent)
except:
print 'Get parent Node Fail, Use the Root as parent Node'
parentnode = self.root
parentnode.appendChild(node)

def write_start_time(self, time):
self.write_node('/','StartTime', time)

def write_end_time(self, time):
self.write_node('/','EndTime', time)

def write_pass_count(self, count):
self.write_node('/','PassCount', count)

def write_fail_count(self, count):
self.write_node('/','FailCount', count)

def write_case(self):
self.write_node('/','Case', None)

def write_case_no(self, index, value):
self.write_node('/Case[%s]/' % index,'No', value)

def write_case_url(self, index, value):
self.write_node('/Case[%s]/' % index,'URL', value)

def write_case_dbdata(self, index, value):
self.write_node('/Case[%s]/' % index,'DBData', value)

def write_case_apidata(self, index, value):
self.write_node('/Case[%s]/' % index,'APIData', value)

def write_case_dbsql(self, index, value):
self.write_node('/Case[%s]/' % index,'DBSQL', value, CDATA=True)

def write_case_apixpath(self, index, value):
self.write_node('/Case[%s]/' % index,'APIXPath', value)

def save_xml(self):
myfile = file(self.resultfile, 'w')
self.dom.writexml(myfile, encoding='utf-8')
myfile.close()

if name == 'main':
xr = xmlwrite(r'D:\test.xml')
xr.write_start_time('2223')
xr.write_end_time('444')
xr.write_pass_count('22')
xr.write_fail_count('33')
xr.write_case()
xr.write_case()
xr.write_case_no(0, '0')
xr.write_case_url(0, 'http://www.google.com')
xr.write_case_url(0, 'http://www.google.com')
xr.write_case_dbsql(0, 'select * from ')
xr.write_case_dbdata(0, 'dbtata')
xr.write_case_apixpath(0, '/xpath')
xr.write_case_apidata(0, 'apidata')
xr.write_case_no(1, '1')
xr.write_case_url(1, 'http://www.baidu.com')
xr.write_case_url(1, 'http://www.baidu.com')
xr.write_case_dbsql(1, 'select 1 from ')
xr.write_case_dbdata(1, 'dbtata1')
xr.write_case_apixpath(1, '/xpath1')
xr.write_case_apidata(1, 'apidata1')
xr.save_xml()

以上封装了minidom，支持通过xpath来写节点，不支持xpath带属性的匹配，但支持带索引的匹配。
比如：/root/child[1], 表示root的第2个child节点。
