Question

基本上，我有一个6.4GB的XML文件，我想将其转换为JSON，然后将其保存到磁盘。我目前正在使用i7 2700k和16GB的ram运行OSX 10.8.4，并运行Python 64bit（双重检查）。我收到一个错误，我没有足够的内存来分配。我该如何解决这个问题？

print 'Opening'
f = open('large.xml', 'r')
data = f.read()
f.close()

print 'Converting'
newJSON = xmltodict.parse(data)

print 'Json Dumping'
newJSON = json.dumps(newJSON)

print 'Saving'
f = open('newjson.json', 'w')
f.write(newJSON)
f.close()

错误：

Python(2461) malloc: *** mmap(size=140402048315392) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/Git/Resources/largexml2json.py", line 10, in <module>
    data = f.read()
MemoryError

许多Python XML库支持逐步解析XML子元素，例如标准库中的xml.etree.ElementTree.iterparse和xml.sax.parse。这些函数通常称为“XML Stream Parser”。

您使用的xmltodict库也具有流式传输模式。我认为它可以解决你的问题

不是试图一次性读取文件然后处理它，而是希望以块的形式读取它并处理每个块的加载。这是处理大型XML文件时相当常见的情况，并且由 Simple API for XML（SAX）标准涵盖，该标准指定了用于解析XML流的回调API - 它是Python标准库的一部分。如上所述xml.sax.parse和xml.etree.ETree。

这是一个快速的XML to JSON转换器：

from collections import defaultdict
import json
import sys
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

def parse_xml(file_name):
    events = ("start", "end")
    context = ET.iterparse(file_name, events=events)

    return pt(context)

def pt(context, cur_elem=None):
    items = defaultdict(list)

    if cur_elem:
        items.update(cur_elem.attrib)

    text = ""

    for action, elem in context:
        # print("{0:>6} : {1:20} {2:20} '{3}'".format(action, elem.tag, elem.attrib, str(elem.text).strip()))

        if action == "start":
            items[elem.tag].append(pt(context, elem))
        elif action == "end":
            text = elem.text.strip() if elem.text else ""
            break

    if len(items) == 0:
        return text

    return { k: v[0] if len(v) == 1 else v for k, v in items.items() }

if __name__ == "__main__":
    json_data = parse_xml("large.xml")
    print(json.dumps(json_data, indent=2))

如果您正在查看大量的XML处理，请查看lxml库，除了标准模块之外，它还有很多有用的东西，同时也更容易使用。

这是一个Python3脚本，用于使用xmltodict的流功能将某种结构的XML转换为JSON。该脚本在内存中的存储量很小，因此对输入的大小没有限制。这有很多假设，但可能会让您起步，里程会有所不同，希望对您有所帮助。

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Converts an XML file with a single outer list element
and a repeated list member element to JSON on stdout.
Processes large XML files with minimal memory using the
streaming feature of https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict
which is required ("pip install xmltodict").

Expected input structure (element names are just examples):
  <mylist attr="a">
    <myitem name="foo"></myitem>
    <myitem name="bar"></myitem>
    <myitem name="baz"></myitem>
  </mylist>

Output:
  {
    "mylist": {
      "attr": "a",
      "myitem": [
        {
          "name": "foo"
        },
        {
          "name": "bar"
        },
        {
          "name": "baz"
        }
