how to parse XML with namespace and attribute in Python?
Question:
hi I am trying to parse xml with namespace and attribute.
I am almost close by using root.findall()
and .get()
However still struggling to get the accurate values from xml file.
How to get the xml attribute values ?
Input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><message:GenericData
root()
for x in root.findall('.//'):
print(x.tag, " ", x.get('value'))
Output:
{http://www.sdmx.org/resources/sdmxml/schemas/v2_1/data/generic}Obs None
{http://www.sdmx.org/resources/sdmxml/schemas/v2_1/data/generic}ObsDimension 1999-01
{http://www.sdmx.org/resources/sdmxml/schemas/v2_1/data/generic}ObsValue 0.7029125

How about this:
for parent in root:
print(' '.join([child.get('value', "") for child in parent]))
