这里的东西是主动维护的，到目前为止是我最喜欢的:python中的xml2json

我发现对于简单的XML片段，使用正则表达式会省事。例如:

# <user><name>Happy Man</name>...</user>
import re
names = re.findall(r'<name>(\w+)<\/name>', xml_string)
# do some thing to names

正如@Dan所说，要通过XML解析来做到这一点，并没有万能的解决方案，因为数据是不同的。我的建议是使用lxml。虽然没有完成json, lxml。物化的效果很好:

>>> from lxml import objectify
>>> root = objectify.fromstring("""
... <root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
...   <a attr1="foo" attr2="bar">1</a>
...   <a>1.2</a>
...   <b>1</b>
...   <b>true</b>
...   <c>what?</c>
...   <d xsi:nil="true"/>
... </root>
... """)

>>> print(str(root))
root = None [ObjectifiedElement]
    a = 1 [IntElement]
      * attr1 = 'foo'
      * attr2 = 'bar'
    a = 1.2 [FloatElement]
    b = 1 [IntElement]
    b = True [BoolElement]
    c = 'what?' [StringElement]
    d = None [NoneElement]
      * xsi:nil = 'true'

你可能想看看http://designtheory.org/library/extrep/designdb-1.0.pdf。这个项目从一个大型XML文件库的XML到JSON转换开始。在转换过程中进行了大量研究，并生成了最简单直观的XML -> JSON映射(在本文前面有描述)。总之，将所有内容转换为JSON对象，并将重复块作为对象列表。

表示键/值对的对象(Python中的字典，Java中的hashmap, JavaScript中的对象)

没有映射回XML以获得相同的文档，原因是，键/值对是属性还是<key>value</key>，因此该信息丢失。

如果你问我，我会说属性是一个入门;但它们在HTML上也很好用。

如果有些时候你只得到响应代码而不是所有的数据，那么像json解析这样的错误将会存在，所以你需要将它转换为文本

import xmltodict

data = requests.get(url)
xpars = xmltodict.parse(data.text)
json = json.dumps(xpars)
print json 

献给任何可能还需要这个的人。下面是一个更新的、简单的代码来进行这种转换。

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

xml    = ET.parse('FILE_NAME.xml')
parsed = parseXmlToJson(xml)


def parseXmlToJson(xml):
  response = {}

  for child in list(xml):
    if len(list(child)) > 0:
      response[child.tag] = parseXmlToJson(child)
    else:
      response[child.tag] = child.text or ''

    # one-liner equivalent
    # response[child.tag] = parseXmlToJson(child) if len(list(child)) > 0 else child.text or ''

  return response

当我在python中处理XML时，我几乎总是使用lxml包。我怀疑大多数人都使用lxml。您可以使用xmltodict，但您将不得不再次解析XML。

用lxml将XML转换为json:

用lxml解析XML文档 将lxml转换为dict 将列表转换为json

我在我的项目中使用下面的类。使用toJson方法。

from lxml import etree 
import json


class Element:
    '''
    Wrapper on the etree.Element class.  Extends functionality to output element
    as a dictionary.
    '''

    def __init__(self, element):
        '''
        :param: element a normal etree.Element instance
        '''
        self.element = element

    def toDict(self):
        '''
        Returns the element as a dictionary.  This includes all child elements.
        '''
        rval = {
            self.element.tag: {
                'attributes': dict(self.element.items()),
            },
        }
        for child in self.element:
            rval[self.element.tag].update(Element(child).toDict())
        return rval


class XmlDocument:
    '''
    Wraps lxml to provide:
        - cleaner access to some common lxml.etree functions
        - converter from XML to dict
        - converter from XML to json
    '''
    def __init__(self, xml = '<empty/>', filename=None):
        '''
        There are two ways to initialize the XmlDocument contents:
            - String
            - File

        You don't have to initialize the XmlDocument during instantiation
        though.  You can do it later with the 'set' method.  If you choose to
        initialize later XmlDocument will be initialized with "<empty/>".

        :param: xml Set this argument if you want to parse from a string.
        :param: filename Set this argument if you want to parse from a file.
        '''
        self.set(xml, filename) 

    def set(self, xml=None, filename=None):
        '''
        Use this to set or reset the contents of the XmlDocument.

        :param: xml Set this argument if you want to parse from a string.
        :param: filename Set this argument if you want to parse from a file.
        '''
        if filename is not None:
            self.tree = etree.parse(filename)
            self.root = self.tree.getroot()
        else:
            self.root = etree.fromstring(xml)
            self.tree = etree.ElementTree(self.root)


    def dump(self):
        etree.dump(self.root)

    def getXml(self):
        '''
        return document as a string
        '''
        return etree.tostring(self.root)

    def xpath(self, xpath):
        '''
        Return elements that match the given xpath.

        :param: xpath
        '''
        return self.tree.xpath(xpath);

    def nodes(self):
        '''
        Return all elements
        '''
        return self.root.iter('*')

    def toDict(self):
        '''
        Convert to a python dictionary
        '''
        return Element(self.root).toDict()

    def toJson(self, indent=None):
        '''
        Convert to JSON
        '''
        return json.dumps(self.toDict(), indent=indent)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    xml='''<system>
    <product>
        <demod>
            <frequency value='2.215' units='MHz'>
                <blah value='1'/>
            </frequency>
        </demod>
    </product>
</system>
'''
    doc = XmlDocument(xml)
    print doc.toJson(indent=4)

内置main的输出是:

{
    "system": {
        "attributes": {}, 
        "product": {
            "attributes": {}, 
            "demod": {
                "attributes": {}, 
                "frequency": {
                    "attributes": {
                        "units": "MHz", 
                        "value": "2.215"
                    }, 
                    "blah": {
                        "attributes": {
                            "value": "1"
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

它是xml的一个转换:

<system>
    <product>
        <demod>
            <frequency value='2.215' units='MHz'>
                <blah value='1'/>
            </frequency>
        </demod>
    </product>
</system>
