用Python打印XML的最佳方法(或各种方法)是什么?


当前回答

下面是一个Python3解决方案,它消除了难看的换行符问题(大量空白),并且与大多数其他实现不同,它只使用标准库。

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import xml.dom.minidom
import os

def pretty_print_xml_given_root(root, output_xml):
    """
    Useful for when you are editing xml data on the fly
    """
    xml_string = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(ET.tostring(root)).toprettyxml()
    xml_string = os.linesep.join([s for s in xml_string.splitlines() if s.strip()]) # remove the weird newline issue
    with open(output_xml, "w") as file_out:
        file_out.write(xml_string)

def pretty_print_xml_given_file(input_xml, output_xml):
    """
    Useful for when you want to reformat an already existing xml file
    """
    tree = ET.parse(input_xml)
    root = tree.getroot()
    pretty_print_xml_given_root(root, output_xml)

我找到了如何修复常见的换行符问题在这里。

使用etree。缩进和etree.tostring

import lxml.etree as etree

root = etree.fromstring('<html><head></head><body><h1>Welcome</h1></body></html>')
etree.indent(root, space="  ")
xml_string = etree.tostring(root, pretty_print=True).decode()
print(xml_string)

输出

<html>
  <head/>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome</h1>
  </body>
</html>

删除名称空间和前缀

import lxml.etree as etree


def dump_xml(element):
    for item in element.getiterator():
        item.tag = etree.QName(item).localname

    etree.cleanup_namespaces(element)
    etree.indent(element, space="  ")
    result = etree.tostring(element, pretty_print=True).decode()
    return result


root = etree.fromstring('<cs:document xmlns:cs="http://blabla.com"><name>hello world</name></cs:document>')
xml_string = dump_xml(root)
print(xml_string)

输出

<document>
  <name>hello world</name>
</document>

下面是我解决难看的文本节点问题的解决方案。

uglyXml = doc.toprettyxml(indent='  ')

text_re = re.compile('>\n\s+([^<>\s].*?)\n\s+</', re.DOTALL)    
prettyXml = text_re.sub('>\g<1></', uglyXml)

print prettyXml

上面的代码将产生:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<issues>
  <issue>
    <id>1</id>
    <title>Add Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 solution files</title>
    <details>We need Visual Studio 2005/2008 project files for Windows.</details>
  </issue>
</issues>

而不是这样:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<issues>
  <issue>
    <id>
      1
    </id>
    <title>
      Add Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 solution files
    </title>
    <details>
      We need Visual Studio 2005/2008 project files for Windows.
    </details>
  </issue>
</issues>

免责声明:可能有一些限制。

XML pretty print for python看起来很适合这个任务。(名字也很恰当。)

另一种方法是使用pyXML,它有一个PrettyPrint函数。

LXML是最近更新的,包含一个漂亮的打印函数

import lxml.etree as etree

x = etree.parse("filename")
print etree.tostring(x, pretty_print=True)

另一个解决方案是借用这个缩进函数,用于自2.5以来内置在Python中的ElementTree库。 下面是它的样子:

from xml.etree import ElementTree

def indent(elem, level=0):
    i = "\n" + level*"  "
    j = "\n" + (level-1)*"  "
    if len(elem):
        if not elem.text or not elem.text.strip():
            elem.text = i + "  "
        if not elem.tail or not elem.tail.strip():
            elem.tail = i
        for subelem in elem:
            indent(subelem, level+1)
        if not elem.tail or not elem.tail.strip():
            elem.tail = j
    else:
        if level and (not elem.tail or not elem.tail.strip()):
            elem.tail = j
    return elem        

root = ElementTree.parse('/tmp/xmlfile').getroot()
indent(root)
ElementTree.dump(root)
