The type can be described as a cross between a list and a dictionary. Each element has a number of properties associated with it: -\begin{itemize} -\item {} -a tag which is a string identifying what kind of data -this element represents (the element type, in other words). - -\item {} -a number of attributes, stored in a Python dictionary. - -\item {} -a text string. - -\item {} -an optional tail string. - -\item {} -a number of child elements, stored in a Python sequence +\begin{itemize} + \item a tag which is a string identifying what kind of data + this element represents (the element type, in other words). + \item a number of attributes, stored in a Python dictionary. + \item a text string. + \item an optional tail string. + \item a number of child elements, stored in a Python sequence \end{itemize} To create an element instance, use the Element or SubElement factory functions. -The ElementTree class can be used to wrap an element +The \class{ElementTree} class can be used to wrap an element structure, and convert it from and to XML. +A C implementation of this API is available as +\module{xml.etree.cElementTree}. + \subsection{Functions\label{elementtree-functions}} -- 2.50.0
