问题:如何将xml字符串转换为字典?
我有一个程序可以从套接字读取xml文档。我将xml文档存储在一个字符串中,我想将其直接转换为Python字典,就像在Django的simplejson
库中一样。
举个例子:
str ="<?xml version="1.0" ?><person><name>john</name><age>20</age></person"
dic_xml = convert_to_dic(str)
然后dic_xml
看起来像{'person' : { 'name' : 'john', 'age' : 20 } }

这是某人创建的一个很棒的模块。我已经使用过几次了。 http://code.activestate.com/recipes/410469-xml-as-dictionary/
这是网站上的代码,以防链接损坏。
from xml.etree import cElementTree as ElementTree
class XmlListConfig(list):
def __init__(self, aList):
for element in aList:
if element:
# treat like dict
if len(element) == 1 or element[0].tag != element[1].tag:
self.append(XmlDictConfig(element))
# treat like list
elif element[0].tag == element[1].tag:
self.append(XmlListConfig(element))
elif element.text:
text = element.text.strip()
if text:
self.append(text)
class XmlDictConfig(dict):
'''
Example usage:
>>> tree = ElementTree.parse('your_file.xml')
>>> root = tree.getroot()
>>> xmldict = XmlDictConfig(root)
Or, if you want to use an XML string:
>>> root = ElementTree.XML(xml_string)
>>> xmldict = XmlDictConfig(root)
And then use xmldict for what it is... a dict.
'''
def __init__(self, parent_element):
if parent_element.items():
self.update(dict(parent_element.items()))
for element in parent_element:
if element:
# treat like dict - we assume that if the first two tags
# in a series are different, then they are all different.
if len(element) == 1 or element[0].tag != element[1].tag:
aDict = XmlDictConfig(element)
# treat like list - we assume that if the first two tags
# in a series are the same, then the rest are the same.
else:
# here, we put the list in dictionary; the key is the
# tag name the list elements all share in common, and
# the value is the list itself
aDict = {element[0].tag: XmlListConfig(element)}
# if the tag has attributes, add those to the dict
if element.items():
aDict.update(dict(element.items()))
self.update({element.tag: aDict})
# this assumes that if you've got an attribute in a tag,
# you won't be having any text. This may or may not be a
# good idea -- time will tell. It works for the way we are
# currently doing XML configuration files...
elif element.items():
self.update({element.tag: dict(element.items())})
# finally, if there are no child tags and no attributes, extract
# the text
else:
self.update({element.tag: element.text})
用法示例:
tree = ElementTree.parse('your_file.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
xmldict = XmlDictConfig(root)
//或者,如果要使用XML字符串:
root = ElementTree.XML(xml_string)
xmldict = XmlDictConfig(root)

xmltodict(完全公开:我写了它)确实做到了:
xmltodict.parse("""
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<person>
<name>john</name>
<age>20</age>
</person>""")
# {u'person': {u'age': u'20', u'name': u'john'}}

以下XML-to-Python-dict片段分析了此XML-to-JSON“规范”之后的实体以及属性。这是处理XML所有情况的最通用的解决方案。
from collections import defaultdict
def etree_to_dict(t):
d = {t.tag: {} if t.attrib else None}
children = list(t)
if children:
dd = defaultdict(list)
for dc in map(etree_to_dict, children):
for k, v in dc.items():
dd[k].append(v)
d = {t.tag: {k:v[0] if len(v) == 1 else v for k, v in dd.items()}}
if t.attrib:
d[t.tag].update(('@' + k, v) for k, v in t.attrib.items())
if t.text:
text = t.text.strip()
if children or t.attrib:
if text:
d[t.tag]['#text'] = text
else:
d[t.tag] = text
return d
它用于:
from xml.etree import cElementTree as ET
e = ET.XML('''
<root>
<e />
<e>text</e>
<e name="value" />
<e name="value">text</e>
<e> <a>text</a> <b>text</b> </e>
<e> <a>text</a> <a>text</a> </e>
<e> text <a>text</a> </e>
</root>
''')
from pprint import pprint
pprint(etree_to_dict(e))
此示例的输出(根据上面链接的“规范”)应为:
{'root': {'e': [None,
'text',
{'@name': 'value'},
{'#text': 'text', '@name': 'value'},
{'a': 'text', 'b': 'text'},
{'a': ['text', 'text']},
{'#text': 'text', 'a': 'text'}]}}
不一定很漂亮,但它是明确的,而更简单的XML输入会导致更简单的JSON。:)
更新资料
如果要进行相反的操作,从JSON / dict发出XML字符串,则可以使用:
try:
basestring
except NameError: # python3
basestring = str
def dict_to_etree(d):
def _to_etree(d, root):
if not d:
pass
elif isinstance(d, basestring):
root.text = d
elif isinstance(d, dict):
for k,v in d.items():
assert isinstance(k, basestring)
if k.startswith('#'):
assert k == '#text' and isinstance(v, basestring)
root.text = v
elif k.startswith('@'):
assert isinstance(v, basestring)
root.set(k[1:], v)
elif isinstance(v, list):
for e in v:
_to_etree(e, ET.SubElement(root, k))
else:
_to_etree(v, ET.SubElement(root, k))
else:
raise TypeError('invalid type: ' + str(type(d)))
assert isinstance(d, dict) and len(d) == 1
tag, body = next(iter(d.items()))
node = ET.Element(tag)
_to_etree(body, node)
return ET.tostring(node)
pprint(dict_to_etree(d))

这个轻量级的版本虽然不可配置,但是很容易根据需要进行定制,并且可以在旧的python中工作。它也是严格的-意味着无论属性是否存在,结果都是相同的。
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from copy import copy
def dictify(r,root=True):
if root:
return {r.tag : dictify(r, False)}
d=copy(r.attrib)
if r.text:
d["_text"]=r.text
for x in r.findall("./*"):
if x.tag not in d:
d[x.tag]=[]
d[x.tag].append(dictify(x,False))
return d
所以:
root = ET.fromstring("<erik><a x='1'>v</a><a y='2'>w</a></erik>")
dictify(root)
结果是:
{'erik': {'a': [{'x': '1', '_text': 'v'}, {'y': '2', '_text': 'w'}]}}

PicklingTools库的最新版本(1.3.0和1.3.1)支持将XML转换为Python dict的工具。
可从此处下载文件: PicklingTools 1.3.1
没有为转换颇有几分文档在这里:文档中详细的所有XML和Python字典之间转换时将产生的决定和问题描述(也有一些边缘情况:属性,列表,匿名列表,匿名多数转换器无法处理的dict,eval等)。通常,这些转换器易于使用。如果“ example.xml”包含:
<top>
<a>1</a>
<b>2.2</b>
<c>three</c>
</top>
然后将其转换为字典:
>>> from xmlloader import *
>>> example = file('example.xml', 'r') # A document containing XML
>>> xl = StreamXMLLoader(example, 0) # 0 = all defaults on operation
>>> result = xl.expect XML()
>>> print result
{'top': {'a': '1', 'c': 'three', 'b': '2.2'}}
有一些可以在C ++和Python中进行转换的工具:C ++和Python可以进行相同的转换,但是C ++的速度要快60倍左右

您可以使用lxml轻松完成此操作。首先安装它:
[sudo] pip install lxml
这是我编写的递归函数,可以为您完成繁重的工作:
from lxml import objectify as xml_objectify
def xml_to_dict(xml_str):
""" Convert xml to dict, using lxml v3.4.2 xml processing library """
def xml_to_dict_recursion(xml_object):
dict_object = xml_object.__dict__
if not dict_object:
return xml_object
for key, value in dict_object.items():
dict_object[key] = xml_to_dict_recursion(value)
return dict_object
return xml_to_dict_recursion(xml_objectify.fromstring(xml_str))
xml_string = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Response><NewOrderResp>
<IndustryType>Test</IndustryType><SomeData><SomeNestedData1>1234</SomeNestedData1>
<SomeNestedData2>3455</SomeNestedData2></SomeData></NewOrderResp></Response>"""
print xml_to_dict(xml_string)
以下变体保留了父键/元素:
def xml_to_dict(xml_str):
""" Convert xml to dict, using lxml v3.4.2 xml processing library, see http://lxml.de/ """
def xml_to_dict_recursion(xml_object):
dict_object = xml_object.__dict__
if not dict_object: # if empty dict returned
return xml_object
for key, value in dict_object.items():
dict_object[key] = xml_to_dict_recursion(value)
return dict_object
xml_obj = objectify.fromstring(xml_str)
return {xml_obj.tag: xml_to_dict_recursion(xml_obj)}
如果只想返回一个子树并将其转换为dict,则可以使用Element.find()获取该子树,然后对其进行转换:
xml_obj.find('.//') # lxml.objectify.ObjectifiedElement instance
请在此处查看lxml文档。我希望这有帮助!

最容易使用的XML XML解析器是ElementTree(从2.5x开始,在标准库xml.etree.ElementTree中)。我认为没有什么可以完全满足您的要求。使用ElementTree编写某些内容来完成您想要的事情,这很简单,但是为什么要转换为字典,为什么不直接使用ElementTree。
回答 9
来自http://code.activestate.com/recipes/410469-xml-as-dictionary/的代码效果很好,但是,如果在层次结构中的给定位置存在多个相同的元素,它将覆盖它们。
我在两者之间添加了一个垫片,以查看在self.update()之前该元素是否已经存在。如果是这样,则弹出现有条目并从现有条目和新条目中创建一个列表。随后的所有重复项都将添加到列表中。
不知道是否可以更妥善地处理此问题,但它的工作原理是:
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ElementTree
class XmlDictConfig(dict):
def __init__(self, parent_element):
if parent_element.items():
self.updateShim(dict(parent_element.items()))
for element in parent_element:
if len(element):
aDict = XmlDictConfig(element)
if element.items():
aDict.updateShim(dict(element.items()))
self.updateShim({element.tag: aDict})
elif element.items():
self.updateShim({element.tag: dict(element.items())})
else:
self.updateShim({element.tag: element.text.strip()})
def updateShim (self, aDict ):
for key in aDict.keys():
if key in self:
value = self.pop(key)
if type(value) is not list:
listOfDicts = []
listOfDicts.append(value)
listOfDicts.append(aDict[key])
self.update({key: listOfDicts})
else:
value.append(aDict[key])
self.update({key: value})
else:
self.update(aDict)

从@ K3 — rnc 响应(最适合我),我添加了一些小修改以从XML文本中获得OrderedDict(有时顺序很重要):
def etree_to_ordereddict(t):
d = OrderedDict()
d[t.tag] = OrderedDict() if t.attrib else None
children = list(t)
if children:
dd = OrderedDict()
for dc in map(etree_to_ordereddict, children):
for k, v in dc.iteritems():
if k not in dd:
dd[k] = list()
dd[k].append(v)
d = OrderedDict()
d[t.tag] = OrderedDict()
for k, v in dd.iteritems():
if len(v) == 1:
d[t.tag][k] = v[0]
else:
d[t.tag][k] = v
if t.attrib:
d[t.tag].update(('@' + k, v) for k, v in t.attrib.iteritems())
if t.text:
text = t.text.strip()
if children or t.attrib:
if text:
d[t.tag]['#text'] = text
else:
d[t.tag] = text
return d
在@ K3 — rnc示例中,可以使用它:
from xml.etree import cElementTree as ET
e = ET.XML('''
<root>
<e />
<e>text</e>
<e name="value" />
<e name="value">text</e>
<e> <a>text</a> <b>text</b> </e>

for i in node:
d[i.tag + "_" + str(count)]['text'] = i.findtext('.')[0]
d[i.tag + "_" + str(count)]['attrib'] = i.attrib # attrib gives the list
d[i.tag + "_" + str(count)]['children'] = xml2dict(i) # it gives dict

</D>
<inCout-ofD>123</inCout-ofD>
</C>
</B>
<B>abc</B>
<F>F</F>

和在python中
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
class XMLToDictionary(dict):
def __init__(self, parentElement):
self.parentElement = parentElement
for child in list(parentElement):
child.text = child.text if (child.text != None) else ' '
if len(child) == 0:

class _addToDict(dict):
def __init__(self, key, value, dict):
if not key in dict:
self.update({key: value})
else:

self.update({key: identical + [value]})
tree = ET.parse('./XML.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
parseredDict = XMLToDictionary(root).getDict()
