xmltodict3

An open-source library that is used for converting XML to a python dictionary.

This library:

• can work with namespace
• can transform XML value into python object (integer, boolean, datetime & custom transformers) using the "type" attribute

Installation:

pip install xmltodict3

or

pip install git+https://github.com/dart-neitro/xmltodict3

Example 1 (Simple case):

>>> from xmltodict3 import XmlTextToDict
>>> text = """
...     <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
...         <xs:root attr="attr_value">
...             data
...         </xs:root>
...     </xs:schema>
... """
>>> result = XmlTextToDict(text, ignore_namespace=True).get_dict()
>>> print(result)
{'schema': {'root': {'@attr': 'attr_value', '#text': 'data'}}}

Example 2 (with transformers):

>>> from xmltodict3 import XmlTextToDict
>>> import xmltodict3.transformers as transformers
>>> text = """
... <root>
...     <values>
...         <int_value type="integer">
...             123
...         </int_value>
...     </values>
... </root>
... """
>>> transformer_list = transformers.DefaultTransformerList
>>> pull_transformers = transformers.PullTransformers(*transformer_list)
>>> pull_transformers.set_removing_types(True)
>>> xml_to_dict = XmlTextToDict(text)
>>> xml_to_dict.use_pull_transformers(pull_transformers)
>>> result = xml_to_dict.get_dict()
>>> print(result)
{'root': {'values': {'int_value': 123}}}
