lxml iterparse with objectify

Question

如何解析一个大的XML文件并将其元素作为ObjectifiedElement处理（使用objectify解析器）。

我没有找到比以下更好的解决方案：

from lxml import etree, objectify
for event, elt in etree.iterparse('onebigfile.xml', tag='MyTag'):
    oelt = objectify.fromstring(etree.tostring(elt))
    my_process(oelt)

如何避免这种中间字符串表示？

我认为使用iterparse构建自定义数据提取器非常容易，完全不需要使用客观化。

为了这个例子，我使用了一个看起来有点像这样的.NET参考XML文件：

<doc>
  <assembly>
    <name>System.IO</name>
  </assembly>
  <members>
    <member name="T:System.IO.BinaryReader">
      <summary>Reads primitive data types as binary values in a specific encoding.</summary>
      <filterpriority>2</filterpriority>
    </member>
    <member name="M:System.IO.BinaryReader.#ctor(System.IO.Stream)">
      <summary>Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="T:System.IO.BinaryReader" /> class based on the specified stream and using UTF-8 encoding.</summary>
      <param name="input">The input stream. </param>
      <exception cref="T:System.ArgumentException">The stream does not support reading, is null, or is already closed. </exception>
    </member>
    <member name="M:System.IO.BinaryReader.#ctor(System.IO.Stream,System.Text.Encoding)">
      <summary>Initializes a new instance of the <see cref="T:System.IO.BinaryReader" /> class based on the specified stream and character encoding.</summary>
      <param name="input">The input stream. </param>
      <param name="encoding">The character encoding to use. </param>
      <exception cref="T:System.ArgumentException">The stream does not support reading, is null, or is already closed. </exception>
      <exception cref="T:System.ArgumentNullException">
        <paramref name="encoding" /> is null. </exception>
    </member>
    <!-- ... many more members like this -->
  </members>
</doc>

假设您想要将所有成员的名称，摘要和属性提取为这样的词组列表：

{
  'summary': 'Reads primitive data types as binary values in a specific encoding.', 
  'name': 'T:System.IO.BinaryReader'
}
{
  'summary': 'Initializes a new instance of the ', 
  '@input': 'The input stream. ', 
  'name': 'M:System.IO.BinaryReader.#ctor(System.IO.Stream)'
}
{
  'summary': 'Initializes a new instance of the class based on the specified stream and using UTF-8 encoding.', 
  '@input': 'The input stream. ',
  '@encoding': 'The character encoding to use. ',
  'name': 'M:System.IO.BinaryReader.#ctor(System.IO.Stream,System.Text.Encoding)'
}

你可以这样做：

• 将lxml.iterparse与start和end次事件
一起使用
• 当<member>元素开始时，准备一个新的字典（item）
• 当我们里面一个<member>元素时，将我们感兴趣的任何内容添加到dict
• 当<member>元素结束时，最终确定dict并将其生成
• 将item设置为None作为“<member>的内部/外部” - 标志

在代码中：

import lxml
from lxml import etree

def text_content(elt):
    return ' '.join([t.strip() for t in elt.itertext()])

def extract_data(xmlfile):
    item = None

    for event, elt in etree.iterparse(xmlfile, events=['start', 'end']):
        if elt.tag == 'member':
            if event == 'start':
                item = {}
            else:
                item['name'] = elt.attrib['name']
                yield item
                item = None

        if item == None:
            continue

        if event == 'end':
            if elt.tag in ('summary', 'returns'):
                item[elt.tag] = text_content(elt)
                continue

            if elt.tag == 'param':
                item['@' + elt.attrib['name']] = text_content(elt)
                continue


testfile = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETCore\v4.5.1\System.IO.xml'

for item in extract_data(testfile):
    print(item)

通过这种方式，您可以获得最快速，最节省内存的解析并精确控制您查看的数据。即使没有中间objectify / tostring()，使用fromstring()也会更加浪费。
