Question

I am trying to parse a large xml file (more than 50mb). Getting the following parsing error. File attached for reference. File

import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('input_file.xml')

error
 File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 598, in parse
    self._root = parser._parse_whole(source)

  File "<string>", line unknown
ParseError: no element found: line 21, column 0

Answer 1

You XML is not well-formed, ElementTree cannot parse it. Please take look at your XML file and check whether it has a proper closing tag, maybe special characters and other stuff.
