标签: python xml parsing xpath

这是xml文件 http://www.diveintopython3.net/examples/feed.xml

我的python代码:

from lxml import etree
def lxml():
    tree = etree.parse('feed.xml')
    NSMAP = {"nn":"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"}
    test = tree.xpath('//nn:category[@term="html"]/..',namespaces=NSMAP)
    for elem in tree.iter():
        print(elem.tag,'\t',elem.attrib)
    print('-------------------------------')
    test1 = tree.xpath('//nn:category',namespaces=NSMAP)
    print('++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++')
    for node in test1:
        test2 = node.xpath('./../nn:summary',namespaces=NSMAP) # return a list
        print(test2.xpath('normalize-space(.)'))
    print('*****************************************')
    test3 = tree.xpath('//text()[normalize-space(.)]')# [normalize-space()] only remove the heading and tailing
    print(test3)

输出是:..

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

我的问题是为什么有这么多'\ n'。如何删除它们?

另外一个问题是如何直接查询文本的标签,例如make来获取“Mark”节点(条目文本的子节点。

非常感谢

" 我的问题是为什么有这么多' \ n'。如何删除它们?"

您的XPath将选择XML中的每个空格。格式良好的XML通常包含大量的换行符和空格。例如,在下面的XML中,有两个空文本节点将由//text()选择,即<root><foo>之间的一个,以及</foo>和{{之间的另一个1}}:

</root>

您可以使用<root> <foo>bar</foo> </root> 来避免首先选择空文本节点。

  

&#34; 另外一个问题是如何直接查询文本的标签,例如make以获取&#34; Mark&#34;的节点。 (参赛作品的孩子。&#34;

//text()[normalize-space()]

上面应该得到变量your_text_node.getparent().tag 引用的文本节点的父元素,然后返回元素的标记名称。

\n是一个转义序列。

您可以查看页面来源,发现bloated位于新行的开头。

要删除它们,您可以使用string.replace()re.sub()
