[Python] Using The XML Library.

[thiefmn6092]

XML is very useful when it comes to using it as a database or anything similiar. I'll explain the easiest way to use it in Python here

Here is our sample XML file.

<Sample>
      <SomeTable>
            <Attack>1</Attack>
      </SomeTable>
</Sample>

1. Imports

from xml.dom import minidom

2. Loading the XML file.

xmldoc = minidom.parse('YourFile.xml')

The above code will open the file "YourFile.xml" into dom and hold it in memory.

3. Extracting data ( SIMPLEST )

attack = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('Attack')[0].firstchild.data

4. Displaying the data ( SIMPLEST )

print attack
