Usage¶
Simply inherit XMLModel
.
from schematics_xml import XMLModel
class Person(XMLModel):
name = StringType()
john = Person(dict(name='John'))
xml = john.to_xml()
XML now contains;
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<person>
<name>John</name>
</person>
And back the other way;
john = Person.from_xml(xml)
Root Node¶
To set the root node simply define class property xml_root
, as follows;
from schematics_xml import XMLModel
class Animal(XMLModel):
kind = StringType()
@property
def xml_root(self):
return self.kind
garfield = Animal(dict(kind='cat'))
xml = garfield.to_xml()
XML now contains;
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<cat>
<kind>cat</kind>
</cat>
