Pythonチュートリアルを参考にxmlファイル読み込み

data3.xml

<data>

findall　同じ子ノードすべてを参照する

findやfindallでほしいタグを指定する
以下ではすべてのcountryタグを取得する

from xml.etree import ElementTree


path = 'data3.xml'
tree = ElementTree.parse(path)
root = tree.getroot()
countries = root.findall('country')
for country in countries:
    gdppc = country.find('gdppc')
    print(country.attrib)
    print(gdppc.text)

{'name': 'Liechtenstein'}
141100
{'name': 'Singapore'}
59900
{'name': 'Panama'}
13600

孫ノードまで取得

for文をネストする。

cnt = 1
for child in root:
    print('---', cnt, '---')
    print(child.tag, child.attrib, child.text)
    for gild in child:
        print(gild.tag, gild.attrib, gild.text)
    cnt += 1
