Python-xmljson-保存西里尔符号

Question

I have an xml, and I want to convert it to json using xmljson lib. The xml is following

<description>Описание товара</description>

in console I do the following

>>> from xmljson import badgerfish as bf
>>> from xml.etree.ElementTree import fromstring
>>> from json import dumps
>>> dumps(bf.data(fromstring('<description>Описание товара</description>')))

and then I get

>>> '{"description": {"$": "\\u041e\\u043f\\u0438\\u0441\\u0430\\u043d\\u0438\\u0435 \\u0442\\u043e\\u0432\\u0430\\u0440\\u0430"}}'

What can I do in order to get Описание товара instead of \\\О\\\п\\\и\\\с\\\а\\\н\\\и\\\е \\\т\\\о\\\в\\\а\\\р\\\а

Answer 1

Use ensure_ascii=False in the json.dumps :

import xmltodict
import json
s = '<description>Описание товара</description>'
d = xmltodict.parse(s)
json.dumps(d, ensure_ascii=False)
# '{"description": "Описание товара"}'

Note: you can decode string manually:

st = "\\u041e\\u043f\\u0438\\u0441\\u0430\\u043d\\u0438\\u0435 \\u0442\\u043e\\u0432\\u0430\\u0440\\u0430"
st.encode('ascii').decode('unicode-escape')
# 'Описание товара'
