Hmm, either nobody is interested, or everybody is to busy...
I'm going to assume the latter, for the sake of my own ego :-)
Just to recap, XMLModel allows you to expressively define an XML document,
using native python classes, you can then access the elements of the XML
through
a tree of native python objects.
In the future, I'm hoping to write a parser that can take a given model,
and fill in the data from an XML document. I don't imagine this being
too dificult, as a lot of the work is done by the model itself (it
defines what data to look for).
Here is an example of how XMLModel is used:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from xmlmodel.main import *
from xmlmodel.xmlvalues import *
from datetime import datetime
class rss( XMLModel ):
class XMLAttrs:
version = '2.0'
class channel( XMLNode ):
title = XMLValue('test')
description = XMLValue('something')
link = XMLValue('http://here')
lastBuildDate = XMLDateTime( format = "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S EST" )
generator = XMLValue()
docs = XMLValue()
class item( XMLNodeList ):
title = XMLValue()
link = XMLValue()
description = XMLValue()
category = XMLList()
pubDate = XMLDateTime( format = "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S EST" )
feed = rss()
feed.channel.title = 'Latest Headlines'
feed.channel.description = 'Most Recent Headlines'
feed.channel.generator = 'XMLModel 0.1a'
feed.channel.lastBuildDate = datetime( 2006, 5, 10, 8, 24, 30 )
# Normally we would loop this ;-)
item = feed.channel.item.new()
item.title = 'foo'
item.link = 'http://foo'
item.description = 'foo bar'
item.category.append( 'foo' )
item.category.append( 'bar' )
item.pubDate = datetime( 2005, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 )
item = feed.channel.item.new()
item.title = 'bar'
item.link = 'http://bar'
item.description = 'bar baz'
item.category.append( 'bar' )
item.category.append( 'baz' )
item.pubDate = datetime( 2006, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 )
print feed
# or this would be ever so slightly faster
# (it made a one second difference, when generating 2.5MB of XML, on my
laptop)
# for buf in feed.toxml(): # toxml() is a generator
# print buf
Any comments, suggestions, or bug reports are welcome.
