I want to find a way to get all the sub-elements of an element tree like the way ElementTree.getchildren()
does, since getchildren()
is deprecated since Python version 2.7.
I don't want to use it anymore, though I can still use it currently.
All sub-elements (descendants) of elem
:
all_descendants = list(elem.iter())
A more complete example:
>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
>>> a = ET.Element('a')
>>> b = ET.SubElement(a, 'b')
>>> c = ET.SubElement(a, 'c')
>>> d = ET.SubElement(a, 'd')
>>> e = ET.SubElement(b, 'e')
>>> f = ET.SubElement(d, 'f')
>>> g = ET.SubElement(d, 'g')
>>> [elem.tag for elem in a.iter()]
['a', 'b', 'e', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'g']
To exclude the root itself:
>>> [elem.tag for elem in a.iter() if elem is not a]
['b', 'e', 'c', 'd', 'f', 'g']
在 pydoc 中提到在节点上使用 list() 方法来获取子元素。
list(elem)
If you want to get all elements 'a', you can use:
a_lst = list(elem.iter('a'))
If the elem
is also 'a', it will be included.
Maybe this does not correspond to OP actual question but in a greater sense I would suggest that if someone want to get all elements named with a certain name eg 'object' can use (an alternative approach to @Turtles Are Cute which to me at least seems more natural):
objs = tree.findall('object')
which also returns a list.
None of the existing answers will find all children. This solution uses BeautifulSoup instead of ETree, but will find all children, instead of just top-level:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
with open(filename) as f:
soup = BeautifulSoup(f, 'xml')
results = soup.find_all('element_name')
