Is there any way or any framework in python to create an object model from xml?

Question

for example, my xml file contains:

<layout name="layout1"> <grid> <row> <cell colSpan="1" name="cell1"/> </row> <row> <cell name="cell2" flow="horizontal"/> </row> </grid> </layout> 

and I want to get an object from xml for example, the structure of the returned object will look like

 class layout(object): def __init__(self): self.grid=None class grid(object): def __init__(self): self.rows=[] class row(object): def __init__(self): self.cels=[] 

Answer 1

I found my answer I used objectify in the lxml package

this is an example code:

 from lxml import objectify root = objectify.fromstring(""" <root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <a attr1="foo" attr2="bar">1</a> <a>1.2</a> <b>1</b> <b>true</b> <c>what?</c> <d xsi:nil="true"/> </root> """) print objectify.dump(root) 

he prints:

 root = None [ObjectifiedElement] a = 1 [IntElement] * attr1 = 'foo' * attr2 = 'bar' a = 1.2 [FloatElement] b = 1 [IntElement] b = True [BoolElement] c = 'what?' [StringElement] d = None [NoneElement] * xsi:nil = 'true'
