Python：获取特定XML标签的所有内容

Question

I have parsed a XML file and need to get all content from all <name> tags.

So far I've come up with this:

xml_tag = dom.getElementsByTagName('person')[0].toxml()
xml_data = xml_tag.replace('<name>','').replace('</name>','')

This however only gets the first tag. How do I create a list of all the name tags content in it?

Answer 1

usually I use lxml for these things but looking at your code, this or somethin similar should work.

xml_tag = dom.getElementsByTagName('person')[0]
xml_data = [elem.nodeValue for elem in dom.getElementsByTagName('name')]
