pyiks is a Python binding for the iksemel which is an XML parser library for Jabber/XMPP and general XML processing applications written in Rust. Iksemel aims to be easy to use, fast, and usable in resource-constrained environments.

Features

pyiks only provides the DOM interface of iksemel with this first release.

Usage

Here is a simple example showing parsing and editing:

xml_text = "<doc><a>123</a><b><a>456</a><a>789</a></b></doc>"

doc = pyiks.parse(xml_text)

doc.find_tag("b").first_tag().remove()
doc.find_tag("a").set_attribute("x", "1")

assert str(doc) == '<doc><a x="1">123</a><b><a>789</a></b></doc>'
