How to generate XML using Python?
To generate XML from a python dictionary, you need to install the dicttoxml package. You can install it using −
$ pip install dicttoxml
Once installed, you can use the dicttoxml method to create the xml.
example
a = {
'foo': 45,
'bar': {
'baz': "Hello"
}
}
xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(a)
print(xml)Output
This will give the output −
b'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><foo type="int">45</foo><bar type="dict"><baz type="str">Hello</baz></bar></root>'
You can also prettyprint this output using the toprettyxml method.
example
from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
a = {
'foo': 45,
'bar': {
'baz': "Hello"
}
}
xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(a)
dom = parseString(xml)
print(dom.toprettyxml())Output
This will give the output −
<?xml version = "1.0" ?> <root> <foo type = "int">45</foo> <bar type = "dict"> <baz type = "str">Hello</baz> </bar> </root>
