python中的xml.dom模塊使用的就是傳統的dom解析api和方法。所以也就不寫什么了，主要就是練習敲敲代碼，繼續熟悉python。本文通過xml.dom.minidom創建一個xml文檔，然后再解析出來，用以熟悉相關接口方法的使用。

創建一個xml文檔：

'''

Createaxmldocument

'''

fromxml.domimportminidom

doc=minidom.Document()

doc.appendChild(doc.createComment("Thisisasimplexml."))

booklist=doc.createElement("booklist")

doc.appendChild(booklist)

defaddBook(newbook):

book=doc.createElement("book")

book.setAttribute("id",newbook["id"])

title=doc.createElement("title")

title.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(newbook["title"]))

book.appendChild(title)

author=doc.createElement("author")

name=doc.createElement("name")

firstname=doc.createElement("firstname")

firstname.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(newbook["firstname"]))

lastname=doc.createElement("lastname")

lastname.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(newbook["lastname"]))

name.appendChild(firstname)

name.appendChild(lastname)

author.appendChild(name)

book.appendChild(author)

pubdate=doc.createElement("pubdate")

pubdate.appendChild(doc.createTextNode(newbook["pubdate"]))

book.appendChild(pubdate)

booklist.appendChild(book)

addBook({"id":"1001","title":"Anapple","firstname":"Peter","lastname":"Zhang","pubdate":"2012-1-12"})

addBook({"id":"1002","title":"Love","firstname":"Mike","lastname":"Li","pubdate":"2012-1-10"})

addBook({"id":"1003","title":"Steve.Jobs","firstname":"Tom","lastname":"Wang","pubdate":"2012-1-19"})

addBook({"id":"1004","title":"HarryPotter","firstname":"Peter","lastname":"Chen","pubdate":"2012-11-11"})

f=file("book.xml","w")

doc.writexml(f)

f.close()

通過doc.toprettyxml(indent,newl,encoding)方法可以優雅顯示xml文檔，但是要避免直接寫入文本，否則會給解析帶來麻煩，盡量使用自帶的writexml方法。

生成的文檔內容：

Peter

Zhang

2012-1-12

.................

解析該xml文檔：

classbookscanner:

ifchild.tagName=="firstname":

print"Firstname:",self.getText(child.firstChild)

ifchild.tagName=="lastname":

print"Lastname:",self.getText(child.firstChild)

doc=minidom.parse("book.xml")

forchildindoc.childNodes:

ifchild.nodeType==Node.COMMENT_NODE:

print"Conment:",child.nodeValue

ifchild.nodeType==Node.ELEMENT_NODE:

bookscanner(child)
