PyXml

Pure python3 Alternative to stdlib xml.etree with HTML support

Install

pip install pyxml3

Advantages

The primary advantage of this library over stdlib or lxml is the completeness of it's XPATH implementation. Additional functions and features are supported allowing for more complex queries and simplifying parsing efforts.

Examples

Standard Usage:

import pyxml

etree = pyxml.fromstring(b'<p>Hello World!</p>')
for element in etree.iter():
  print(element)

with open('example.xml', 'rb') as f:
  etree = pyxml.fromstring(f)
  print(etree)

Monkey Patch:

import pyxml
pyxml.compat.monkey_patch()

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

etree = ET.fromstring('<div><p class="hello world">Hello World!</p></div>')
for element in etree.iter():
  print(element)

print(etree.find('//p[starts-with(@class, "hello")]'))
