def fromxml(source, *args, **kwargs):
"""
Extract data from an XML file. E.g.::
>>> import petl as etl
>>> # setup a file to demonstrate with
... d = '''
...
... | foo | bar |
...
...
... | a | 1 |
...
...
... | b | 2 |
...
...
... | c | 2 |
...
...
'''
>>> with open('example1.xml', 'w') as f:
... f.write(d)
...
212
>>> table1 = etl.fromxml('example1.xml', 'tr', 'td')
>>> table1
+-----+-----+
| foo | bar |
+=====+=====+
| 'a' | '1' |
+-----+-----+
| 'b' | '2' |
+-----+-----+
| 'c' | '2' |
+-----+-----+
If the data values are stored in an attribute, provide the attribute
name as an extra positional argument::
>>> d = '''
...
... | |
...
...
... | |
...
...
... | |
...
...
... | |
...
...
'''
>>> with open('example2.xml', 'w') as f:
... f.write(d)
...
220
>>> table2 = etl.fromxml('example2.xml', 'tr', 'td', 'v')
>>> table2
+-----+-----+
| foo | bar |
+=====+=====+
| 'a' | '1' |
+-----+-----+
| 'b' | '2' |
+-----+-----+
| 'c' | '2' |
+-----+-----+
Data values can also be extracted by providing a mapping of field
names to element paths::
>>> d = '''
...
... a
...
...
... b
...
...
... c
...
...
'''
>>> with open('example3.xml', 'w') as f:
... f.write(d)
...
223
>>> table3 = etl.fromxml('example3.xml', 'row',
... {'foo': 'foo', 'bar': ('baz/bar', 'v')})
>>> table3
+------------+-----+
| bar | foo |
+============+=====+
| ('1', '3') | 'a' |
+------------+-----+
| '2' | 'b' |
+------------+-----+
| '2' | 'c' |
+------------+-----+
If `lxml `_ is installed, full XPath expressions can be
used.
Note that the implementation is currently **not** streaming, i.e.,
the whole document is loaded into memory.
If multiple elements match a given field, all values are reported as a
tuple.
If there is more than one element name used for row values, a tuple
or list of paths can be provided, e.g.,
``fromxml('example.html', './/tr', ('th', 'td'))``.
Optionally a custom parser can be provided, e.g.,
``etl.fromxml('example1.xml', 'tr', 'td', parser=my_parser)``.
