Python使用xml.dom.minidom解析XML - 在List中提取项目

我有使用ebay api这个ebay列表的冗长xml,我试图在xml dom中提取以下结构:

我只是将我遇到问题的细分处理起来,如果您需要查看整个文件,请告诉我,我可以将其上传到某个位置或作为图片附件。

<ItemSpecifics>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Room</Name>
<Value>Living Room</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Type</Name>
<Value>Sofa Set</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>...</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Upholstery Fabric</Name>
<Value>Microfiber</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Color</Name>
<Value>Beiges</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Style</Name>
<Value>Contemporary</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>MPN</Name>
<Value>F7615, F7616, F7617, F7618, F7619, F7620</Value>
</NameValueList>
</ItemSpecifics>

这是另一个ebay项目的dom结构:

ItemSpecifics>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Brand</Name>
<Value>Nikon</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Model</Name>
<Value>D3100</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>MPN</Name>
<Value>9798</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Type</Name>
<Value>Digital SLR</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Megapixels</Name>
<Value>14.2 MP</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Optical Zoom</Name>
<Value>3.1x</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Screen Size</Name>
<Value>3"</Value>
</NameValueList>
<NameValueList>
<Name>Color</Name>
<Value>Black</Value>
</NameValueList>
</ItemSpecifics>

但是当我试图提取上面的元素时,我最终得到了以下错误:

   attID=att.attributes.getNamedItem('Name').nodeValue
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'nodeValue'

这是我在解析响应后得到的:

[<DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x103398878>, <DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x103398ab8>, <DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x103398cf8>, <DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x103398f38>, <DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x1033b31b8>, <DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x1033b33f8>, <DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x1033b3638>, <DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x1033b3878>]

这是我在获取错误之前进入for循环的内容:

<DOM Element: NameValueList at 0x103398878>

这是我的代码:

  results = {}
  attributeSet=response.getElementsByTagName('NameValueList')
  print attributeSet
  attributes={}
  for att in attributeSet:
    print att
    attID=att.attributes.getNamedItem('Name').nodeValue
    attValue=getSingleValue(att,'Value')
    attributes[attID]=attValue
  result['attributes']=attributes
  return result

这是我的xml请求方法:

def sendRequest(apicall,xmlparameters):
  connection = httplib.HTTPSConnection(serverUrl)
  connection.request("POST", '/ws/api.dll', xmlparameters, getHeaders(apicall))
  response = connection.getresponse()
  if response.status != 200:
    print "Error sending request:" + response.reason
  else: 
    data = response.read()
    connection.close()
  return data

答案 0 :(得分:3)

attributes.getNamedItem()为您提供元素的属性,而不是它的子元素,<NameValueList>元素没有Name属性,只有<Name>个元素。您必须遍历<NameValueList>中包含的元素,或使用.getElementsByTagName('Name').getElementsByTagName('Value')来获取单个子节点。

尽管如此,请使用ElementTree API代替您;该API远比Python DOM API更易于使用且更易于使用:

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

etree = ET.fromstring(data)
results = {}
for nvl in etree.findall('NameValueList'):
    name = nvl.find('Name').text
    value = nvl.find('Value').text
    results[name] = value
