XML parsing in Python [closed]

Answer 1

If it's small and simple then just use the standard library:

from xml.dom.minidom import parse
doc = parse("filename.xml")

This will return a DOM tree implementing the standard Document Object Model API

If you later need to do complex things like schema validation or XPath querying then I recommend the third-party lxml module, which is a wrapper around the popular libxml2 C library.
