lxml wrapper that simplifies xml generation code.
Project description
This wrapper simplifies your Python xml generation code.
Example XML:
<root attrib="10">
text
<child attrib="">
childtext
</child>
tail
</root>
New way:
E('root', attrib=10).add(
'text',
E('child', attrib=None).add(
'childtext'),
'tail')
Old way:
root = Element('root', attrib=str(10)) # cast to str
root.text = 'text'
child = SubElement(root, 'child', attrib=value or "") # change None to empty string
child.text = 'childtext'
child.tail = 'tail'
Now with .add_if and .add_for methods:
E('root').add_if(1==1, E('child')) -> <root><child /></root>
E('root').add_if(1==0, E('child')) -> <root/>
E('root').add_for([1,2], lambda item: E('item', attr=item)) -> <root><item attr="1"/><item attr="2"/></root>
Example XML:
<root attrib="10">
text
<child attrib="">
childtext
</child>
tail
</root>
New way:
E('root', attrib=10).add(
'text',
E('child', attrib=None).add(
'childtext'),
'tail')
Old way:
root = Element('root', attrib=str(10)) # cast to str
root.text = 'text'
child = SubElement(root, 'child', attrib=value or "") # change None to empty string
child.text = 'childtext'
child.tail = 'tail'
Now with .add_if and .add_for methods:
E('root').add_if(1==1, E('child')) -> <root><child /></root>
E('root').add_if(1==0, E('child')) -> <root/>
E('root').add_for([1,2], lambda item: E('item', attr=item)) -> <root><item attr="1"/><item attr="2"/></root>
