python - 如何使用 python 使用新的给定元素更新现有的 xml 元素？

Question

我已输入 XML 作为country.xml:-

<root>
<set>
    <name>Countries</name>
    <elements>
    <name>US</name>
    <city>
        <val>New York</val>
        <val>Las Vegas</val>
    </city>
    </elements>
    <elements>
    <name>UK</name>
    <city>
        <val>London</val>
    </city>
    </elements>
</set>
</root>

我正在解析 xml 并将其放入列表中，并且我有一个字典，基于它我可以比较和添加 xml 元素。

diction: dict = {'US':['New York', 'Chicago'], 'UK':['OXFORD', 'London']}
source = etree.getroot()
for key,value in diction.items()
    countrylist = source.xpath('./elements/name[text()=\'{}\']/..'.format(key))
    if len(countrylist) == 0:
        # creating new string and element
        # appending element to original tree
    elif len(countrylist) == 1:   ###This is problematic case what to expect here to update key,value from dictionary only and replace the tag already present in xml
        key = countrylist[0]
    else:
        countinue

    # writebacktoxml(source,"country.xml")

我得到的输出是原始输入条件，因为它是特定条件的输出。预期输出如下:-

<root>
<set>
    <name>Countries</name>
    <elements>
    <name>US</name>
    <city>
        <val>New York</val>
        <val>Chicago</val>
    </city>
    </elements>
    <elements>
    <name>UK</name>
    <city>
        <val>OXFORD</val>
        <val>London</val>
    </city>
    </elements>
</set>
</root>

Comment: What if diction:{'AUSTRALIA': ['MELBOURNE']} ? And I want to keep both the things from dictionary as well as from input xml into output xml?

• 在 .clear 周围添加条件

  if name.text in ['AUSTRALIA']:
      # Keep the values
      pass
  else:
      table_category.clear()

Question: How to update existing xml element with new given <val>...</val>?

• 使用 lxml 的示例

  from lxml import etree
  from lxml.builder import ElementMaker
  

• 数据 dict

  diction = {'US': ['New York', 'Chicago'], 'UK': ['OXFORD', 'London']}
  

• 实例化 ElementMaker对象和一个新的<val>...</val>对象。

  E = ElementMaker()
  VAL = E.val
  

• 解析源代码xml

  tree = etree.parse(io.StringIO(xmlf))
  root = tree.getroot()
  

• 解析全部 set/elements

  for element in root.findall('set/elements'):
  

• 获取name这个element

      name = element.find('name')
  

• 获取table_category这个element和.clear它

      table_category = element.find('table_category')
      table_category.clear()
  

• 循环 list 中的所有项在diction定义为[name.text] .

      for val in diction[name.text]:
  

• 追加新 <val>val</val>至table_category

          table_category.append(VAL(val))
  

Output: print('{}'.format(etree.tostring(root, pretty_print=True).decode()))

<configroot version="8.0">
<set>
    <name>Countries</name>
    <elements>
    <name>US</name>
    <table_category><val>New York</val><val>Chicago</val></table_category></elements>
    <elements>
    <name>UK</name>
    <table_category><val>OXFORD</val><val>London</val></table_category></elements>
</set>
</configroot>
