用Python打印XML的最佳方法(或各种方法)是什么?


当前回答

import xml.dom.minidom

dom = xml.dom.minidom.parse(xml_fname) # or xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xml_string)
pretty_xml_as_string = dom.toprettyxml()

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)

查看lxml教程: http://lxml.de/tutorial.html

如果由于某种原因你无法获得其他用户提到的任何Python模块,我建议使用以下Python 2.7解决方案:

import subprocess

def makePretty(filepath):
  cmd = "xmllint --format " + filepath
  prettyXML = subprocess.check_output(cmd, shell = True)
  with open(filepath, "w") as outfile:
    outfile.write(prettyXML)

据我所知,这种解决方案适用于安装了xmllint包的基于unix的系统。

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>

我发现了一个快速简单的方法来格式化和打印一个xml文件:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

xmlTree = ET.parse('your XML file')
xmlRoot = xmlTree.getroot()
xmlDoc =  ET.tostring(xmlRoot, encoding="unicode")

print(xmlDoc)

Outuput:

<root>
  <child>
    <subchild>.....</subchild>
  </child>
  <child>
    <subchild>.....</subchild>
  </child>
  ...
  ...
  ...
  <child>
    <subchild>.....</subchild>
  </child>
</root>
