Python SAX parser to extract xml

• Free software: MIT license
• Documentation: https://saxtract.readthedocs.io

Features

Uses a SAXParser to maintain a fix memory footprint to parse and 'extract' tags from an xml file and push it to an output stream.

With performance tests <tests/perf_tests.py>_ on a trimmed down to 10k records from the dbpl <https://dblp.org/xml/>_ dataset, SaxTrack ran in about half the time and half the memory footprint <https://pypi.org/project/memory-profiler/>_

.. code-block:: bash

python tests/perf_tests.py --filename test.xml --tag authors --runs 5

SaxTrack run took ~0.05381571219999999s
DOM Parser run took ~0.09159613900000001s

Todo's

allow xsd/dtd input for validation
