How do I extract CDATA node in Python? I'm using dom.minidom as
follows:-
from xml.dom.minidom import Document
class XMLDocument():
def __init__(self):
self.doc = Document()
def parseString(self, d):
self.doc = parseString(_encode(d))
return self
#Create instance of XMLDocument
doc = XMLDocument()
doc.parseString(open(os.curdir + '\\XML\\1.xml', 'r').read())
.....
Please help me out.
Here's one approach.
from xml.dom.minidom import parse
doc = parse(file('XML/1.xml'))
cdata = []
elements = [doc.documentElement]
while elements:
e = elements.pop(0)
if e.nodeType == doc.TEXT_NODE:
cdata.append(e.data)
elif e.nodeType == doc.ELEMENT_NODE:
elements[:0] = e.childNodes
print cdata
I bet there are simpler ways, though, based on other XML libraries.
