Description: Summary
=======
Converts a Python dictionary or other native data type into a valid XML string.
Details
=======
Supports item (`int`, `float`, `long`, `decimal.Decimal`, `bool`, `str`, `unicode`, `datetime`, `none` and other number-like objects) and collection (`list`, `set`, `tuple` and `dict`, as well as iterable and dict-like objects) data types, with arbitrary nesting for the collections. Items with a `datetime` type are converted to ISO format strings. Items with a `None` type become empty XML elements.
The root object passed into the `dicttoxml` method can be any of the supported data types.
To satisfy XML syntax, the method prepends an `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>` element and wraps the output in a `<root> ... </root>` element. However, this can be disabled to create XML snippets. Alternately, a custom root element can be specified by passing in the optional `custom_root=foobar` argument.
For lists of items, if each item is also a collection data type (`lists`, `dict`), the elements of that item are wrapped in a generic `<item> ... </item>` element.
Each element includes an optional `type` attribute with the data type. By default, the type attribute it included but it can be excluded by passing an optional `attr_type=False` argument when calling the `dicttoxml` method.
Note: `datetime` data types are converted into ISO format strings, and `unicode` and `datetime` data types get a `str` attribute.
Python -> XML
integer int
long long
float float
Decimal number
string str
unicode str
datetime str
None null
boolean bool
list list
set list
tuple list
dict dict
Elements with an unsupported data type raise a TypeError exception.
If an element name is invalid XML, it is rendered with the name "key" and the invalid name is included as a `name` attribute. E.g. `{ "^.{0,256}$": "foo" }` would be rendered `<key name="^.{0,256}$">foo</key>`. An exception is element names with spaces, which are converted to underscores.
**This module should work in Python 2.6+ and Python 3.**
Installation
============
The dicttoxml module is [published on the Python Package Index](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dicttoxml), so you can install it using `pip` or `easy_install`.
pip install dicttoxml
Or:
easy_install dicttoxml
Alternately, you can download the tarballed installer - `dicttoxml-[VERSION].tar.gz` - for this package from the [dist](https://github.com/quandyfactory/dicttoxml/tree/master/dist) directory on github and uncompress it. Then, from a terminal or command window, navigate into the unzipped folder and type the command:
python setup.py install
That should be all you need to do.
Basic Usage
===========
Once installed, import the library into your script and convert a dict into xml by running the `dicttoxml` function:
>>> import dicttoxml
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(some_dict)
Alternately, you can import the `dicttoxml()` function from the library.
>>> from dicttoxml import dicttoxml
>>> xml = dicttoxml(some_dict)
That's it!
JSON to XML
===========
Let's say you want to fetch a JSON object from a URL and convert it into XML. Here's how you can do that:
>>> import json
>>> import urllib
>>> import dicttoxml
>>> page = urllib.urlopen('http://quandyfactory.com/api/example')
>>> content = page.read()
>>> obj = json.loads(content)
>>> print(obj)
{u'mylist': [u'foo', u'bar', u'baz'], u'mydict': {u'foo': u'bar', u'baz': 1}, u'ok': True}
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj)
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><mylist><item type="str">foo</item><item type="str">bar</item><item type="str">baz</item></mylist><mydict><foo type="str">bar</foo><baz type="int">1</baz></mydict><ok type="bool">true</ok></root>
It's that simple.
Disable Type Attributes
=======================
By default, dicttoxml includes a type attribute for each element. Starting in version 1.4, you can turn this off by passing an optional `attr_type=False` argument to the `dicttoxml` method.
Using our example:
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, attr_type=False)
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><mydict><foo>bar</foo><baz>1</baz></mydict><mylist><item>foo</item><item>bar</item><item>baz</item></mylist><ok>true</ok></root>
As you can see, the only difference is that the type attributes are now absent.
Custom Root
===========
By default, dicttoxml wraps all the elements in a `<root> ... </root>` element. Starting in version 1.5, you can change the name of the root element to something else by passing an optional `custom_root=some_custom_root` argument to the `dicttoxml` method.
Using our example:
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, custom_root='some_custom_root')
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><some_custom_root><mydict><foo>bar</foo><baz>1</baz></mydict><mylist><item>foo</item><item>bar</item><item>baz</item></mylist><ok>true</ok></some_custom_root>
As you can see, the name of the root element has changed to `some_custom_root`.
XML Snippet
===========
You can also create an XML snippet for inclusion into another XML document, rather than a full XML document itself.
Continuing with the example from above:
>>> xml_snippet = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, root=False)
>>> print(xml_snippet)
<mylist><item type="str">foo</item><item type="str">bar</item><item type="str">baz</item></mylist><mydict><foo type="str">bar</foo><baz type="int">1</baz></mydict><ok type="bool">true</ok>
With the optional `root` argument set to `False`, the method converts the dict into XML without including an `<?xml>` prolog or a `<root>` element to enclose all the other elements.
Pretty-Printing
===============
As they say, Python comes with batteries included. You can easily syntax-check and pretty-print your XML using Python's `xml.dom.minidom` module.
Again, continuing with our example:
>>> from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
>>> dom = parseString(xml)
>>> print(dom.toprettyxml())
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
<mylist type="list">
<item type="str">foo</item>
<item type="str">bar</item>
<item type="str">baz</item>
</mylist>
<mydict type="dict">
<foo type="str">bar</foo>
<baz type="int">1</baz>
</mydict>
<ok type="bool">true</ok>
</root>
This makes the XML easier to read. If it is not well-formed, the xml parser will raise an exception.
Unique ID Attributes
====================
Starting in version 1.1, you can set an optional `ids` parameter so that dicttoxml gives each element a unique `id` attribute.
With the `ids` flag on, the function generates a unique randomly-generated ID for each element based on the parent element in the form `parent_unique`. For list items, the id is in the form `parent_unique_index`.
Continuing with our example:
>>> xml_with_ids = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, ids=True)
>>> print(parseString(xml_with_ids).toprettyxml())
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
<mylist id="root_160980" type="list">
<item id="mylist_609405_1" type="str">foo</item>
<item id="mylist_609405_2" type="str">bar</item>
<item id="mylist_609405_3" type="str">baz</item>
</mylist>
<mydict id="root_140407" type="dict">
<foo id="mydict_260437" type="str">bar</foo>
<baz id="mydict_111194" type="int">1</baz>
</mydict>
<ok id="root_612831" type="bool">true</ok>
</root>
Note that the default XML output remains the same as previous, so as not to break compatibility for existing uses.
Dict-Like and Iterable Objects
==============================
Starting in version 1.3, dicttoxml accepts dict-like objects that are derived from the `dict` base class and treats them like dicts. For example:
>>> import collections
>>> dictlike = collections.OrderedDict({'foo': 1, 'bar': 2, 'baz': 3})
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(dictlike)
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><baz type="int">3</baz><foo type="int">1</foo><bar type="int">2</bar></root>
Also starting in version 1.3, dicttoxml accepts iterable objects and treats them like lists. For example:
>>> myiterator = xrange(1,11)
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(myiterator)
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><item type="int">1</item><item type="int">2</item><item type="int">3</item><item type="int">4</item><item type="int">5</item><item type="int">6</item><item type="int">7</item><item type="int">8</item><item type="int">9</item><item type="int">10</item></root>
As always, this remains compatible with arbitrary nesting of objects and types.
Define Custom Item Names
========================
Starting in version 1.7, if you don't want item elements in a list to be called 'item', you can specify the element name using a function that takes the parent element name (i.e. the list name) as an argument.
>>> import dicttoxml
>>> obj = {u'mylist': [u'foo', u'bar', u'baz'], u'mydict': {u'foo': u'bar', u'baz': 1}, u'ok': True}
>>> my_item_func = lambda x: 'list_item'
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, item_func=my_item_func)
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><mydict type="dict"><foo type="str">bar</foo><baz type="int">1</baz></mydict><mylist type="list"><list_item type="str">foo</list_item><list_item type="str">bar</list_item><list_item type="str">baz</list_item></mylist><ok type="bool">True</ok></root>
The benefit of taking the parent element name as an argument is that you can write the function to do something with it. Let's say you have an object with some lists of specific items:
>>> obj = {'shrubs': ['abelia', 'aralia', 'aucuba', 'azalea', 'bamboo', 'barberry', 'bluebeard', 'boxwood', 'camellia', 'dogwood', 'elderberry', 'enkianthus', 'firethorn', 'fuchsia', 'hazel', 'heath', 'heather', 'holly', 'honeysuckle', 'hydrangea', 'laurel', 'lilac', 'mock orange', 'rhododendron', 'rose', 'rose of sharon', 'rosemary', 'smokebush', 'spirea', 'sweetbox', 'viburnum', 'weigela', 'yucca'], 'trees': ['ash', 'aspen', 'birch', 'butternut', 'cedar', 'cottonwood', 'elm', 'fir', 'hawthorn', 'larch', 'locust', 'maple', 'oak', 'pine', 'spruce', 'sycamore', 'willow']}
You can define each item name to be the singular of its parent name by returning all but the last character.
>>> my_item_func = lambda x: x[:-1]
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, item_func=my_item_func)
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><shrubs type="list"><shrub type="str">abelia</shrub><shrub type="str">aralia</shrub><shrub type="str">aucuba</shrub><shrub type="str">azalea</shrub><shrub type="str">bamboo</shrub><shrub type="str">barberry</shrub><shrub type="str">bluebeard</shrub><shrub type="str">boxwood</shrub><shrub type="str">camellia</shrub><shrub type="str">dogwood</shrub><shrub type="str">elderberry</shrub><shrub type="str">enkianthus</shrub><shrub type="str">firethorn</shrub><shrub type="str">fuchsia</shrub><shrub type="str">hazel</shrub><shrub type="str">heath</shrub><shrub type="str">heather</shrub><shrub type="str">holly</shrub><shrub type="str">honeysuckle</shrub><shrub type="str">hydrangea</shrub><shrub type="str">laurel</shrub><shrub type="str">lilac</shrub><shrub type="str">mock orange</shrub><shrub type="str">rhododendron</shrub><shrub type="str">rose</shrub><shrub type="str">rose of sharon</shrub><shrub type="str">rosemary</shrub><shrub type="str">smokebush</shrub><shrub type="str">spirea</shrub><shrub type="str">sweetbox</shrub><shrub type="str">viburnum</shrub><shrub type="str">weigela</shrub><shrub type="str">yucca</shrub></shrubs><trees type="list"><tree type="str">ash</tree><tree type="str">aspen</tree><tree type="str">birch</tree><tree type="str">butternut</tree><tree type="str">cedar</tree><tree type="str">cottonwood</tree><tree type="str">elm</tree><tree type="str">fir</tree><tree type="str">hawthorn</tree><tree type="str">larch</tree><tree type="str">locust</tree><tree type="str">maple</tree><tree type="str">oak</tree><tree type="str">pine</tree><tree type="str">spruce</tree><tree type="str">sycamore</tree><tree type="str">willow</tree></trees></root>
Of course, this can be combined with other optional arguments, like disabling type attributes or custom root element names.
CDATA
=====
Starting in version 1.7.1, you can wrap values in CDATA by setting the optional `cdata` argument to `True`.
>>> import dicttoxml
>>> obj = {u'mylist': [u'foo', u'bar', u'baz'], u'mydict': {u'foo': u'bar', u'baz': 1}, u'ok': True}
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj, cdata=True)
>>> print(xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><root><mydict type="dict"><foo type="str"><![CDATA[bar]]></foo><baz type="int"><![CDATA[1]]></baz></mydict><mylist type="list"><item type="str"><![CDATA[foo]]></item><item type="str"><![CDATA[bar]]></item><item type="str"><![CDATA[baz]]></item></mylist><ok type="bool"><![CDATA[True]]></ok></root>
If you do not set `cdata` to `True`, the default value is `False` and values are not wrapped.
Debugging
=========
You can enable debugging information.
>>> import dicttoxml
>>> dicttoxml.set_debug()
Debug mode is on. Events are logged at: dicttoxml.log
>>> xml = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(some_dict)
By default, debugging information is logged to `dicttoxml.log`, but you can change this:
>>> dicttoxml.set_debug(filename='some_other_filename.log')
Debug mode is on. Events are logged at: some_other_filename.log
To turn debug mode off, just call `set_debug` with an argument of `False`:
>>> dicttoxml.set_debug(False)
Debug mode is off.
