A Python interface to xmlsq.
Project description
The utility xmlsq performs simple and full XPath 1.0 queries on an XML document.
>>> import xmlsq >>> xml = r"<a><b foo='baz'>hello</b><b>world</b><e /></a>" >>> xmlsq.get_text(xml, "//b") 'hello' >>> xmlsq.get_text(xml, "//b[2]") 'world' >>> xmlsq.full_query(xml, "//b") '<b foo="baz">hello</b>\n<b>world</b>\n' >>> xmlsq.get_text(xml, "//b/@foo") 'baz' >>> xmlsq.full_query(xml, "//b/@foo") 'foo="baz"\n' >>> xmlsq.full_query(xml, "/a", xmlsq.Opts.RAW) '<a><b foo="baz">hello</b><b>world</b><e/></a>' >>> xmlsq.count(xml, "//b") 2 >>> xmlsq.count(xml, "//notthere") 0 >>> xmlsq.count(xml, "//e") 1 >>> xmlsq.full_query(xml, "2+3.5") '5.500000'
xmlsq.get_text() extracts the text value of the first node found selected by the query.
xmlsq.full_query() outputs the result of the full XPath 1.0 query as a string.
xmlsq.count() computes the integer value of count(query).
For xmlsq.get_text() and xmlsq.count() the query must evaluate to a node.
For full details of all available methods and options, please see the documentation.
