Python ElementTree xml内容为字符串

Question

我有一个要求，我需要解析xml并需要将整个内容捕获到字符串中。我尝试使用minidom，它是可行的。请帮助ElementTree实现这一目标

XML：

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>
    <country name="Liechtenstein">
        <rank>1</rank>
        <year>2008</year>
        <gdppc>141100</gdppc>
        <neighbor name="Austria" direction="E"/>
        <neighbor name="Switzerland" direction="W"/>
    </country>
    <country name="Singapore">
        <rank>4</rank>
        <year>2011</year>
        <gdppc>59900</gdppc>
        <neighbor name="Malaysia" direction="N"/>
    </country>
    <country name="Panama">
        <rank>68</rank>
        <year>2011</year>
        <gdppc>13600</gdppc>
        <neighbor name="Costa Rica" direction="W"/>
        <neighbor name="Colombia" direction="E"/>
    </country>
</data>

Minidom示例：

from xml.dom import minidom
xmldoc = minidom.parse(country.xml)
print xmldoc.toxml()

然而，当我使用它时，ElementTree不确定如何实现：到目前为止我的代码

 import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree
 tree = etree.parse('C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\country.xml')
 print tree.getroot() *This is not working*

Answer 1

您可以使用etree.tostring()从ElementTree树生成字符串：

print etree.tostring(tree.getroot())
