# wpparser

wpparser parses wordpress export files and returns them as well formatted python dictionaries, for python 2.7+.

## How it works

The library uses ElementTree to traverse through the export file.

## Usage

import wpparser

data = wpparser.parse("./blog.wordpress.2014-09-26.xml")
>>> {"blog": {"tagline": "Tagline",...


## What it returns

It returns a well formatted dict, containing the following datatypes:

- Blog: The general blog information, such as tagline, site url.
- Authors: A list with the different authors.
- Categories: The categories in use, organized as a nested array.
- Tags: A list with the different tags.
- Posts: An array that contains all posts, the post object might also contain the different comments belonging to the post.
