> Try to parse this with it, <html>hello</lol>world</html>. Parsing invalid xml with a xml parser throws an error like it should. I am using cElementTree for parsing and this is what will happen with your input. In [1]: import xml.etree.cElementTree as ElementTree
In [2]: ElementTree.XML('<html>hello</lol>world</html>')

> make my own xmldict parser in that wayWhat is that way you are talking about? There isn't a xmldict implementation for Python(at least I can't google it), I needed one, so I wrote a recursive descent parser. A recursive descent parser is a popular choice provided your grammar is LL(k) - Python, Perl et al run on hand-coded recursive-descent parsers. Also, recursive-descent parsers are easiest to handroll. PS - There is a way to disagree. Your's isn't the right way. |
