<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 52257 by <a href="/recipes/users/11203/">Paul Prescod</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/xml/">xml</a>). </p> <p>The XML specification describes the outlines of an algorithm for detecting the Unicode encoding that an XML document uses. This function will do that.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 65125 by <a href="/recipes/users/11203/">Paul Prescod</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/xml/">xml</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>Sometimes you want to work more with the form of an XML document than with the structural information it contains. For instance if you wanted to change a bunch of entity references or element names. Also, sometimes you have slightly incorrect XML that a traditional parser will choke on. In that case you want an XML lexer or "shallow parser". This is a Python implementation.</p>

Revision 3. </p> <p>This is an example SAX application and can be used as the basis for any SAX application. It is somewhat useful in and of itself when you want to get a sense of the frequency of occurance of particular elements in XML.</p>
