xml-to-dict

xml_to_dict

A simple Python XML to Dictionary parser.

The package is based on this answer from Stack Overflow. It parses entities as well as attributes following this XML-to-JSON "specification".

I just added the from_nest function, which lets you retrieve a value from the nested dictionaries.

Install

pip3 install xml_to_dict --user

Usage

from xml_to_dict import XMLtoDict

sample_xml = (
    '<response>'
        '<results>'
            '<user>'
                '<name>Ezequiel</name>'
                '<age>33</age>'
                '<city>San Isidro</city>'
            '</user>'
            '<user>'
                '<name>Belén</name>'
                '<age>30</age>'
                '<city>San Isidro</city>'
            '</user>'
        '</results>'
    '</response>'
)

parser = XMLtoDict()

print(parser.parse(sample_xml)) # {'response': {'results': {'user': [{'name': 'Ezequiel', 'age': '33', 'city': 'San Isidro'}, {'name': 'Belén', 'age': '30', 'city': 'San Isidro'}]}}}

print(parser.value_from_nest('.*ser', sample_xml)) # [{'name': 'Ezequiel', 'age': '33', 'city': 'San Isidro'}, {'name': 'Belén', 'age': '30', 'city': 'San Isidro'}]
