z3c.etree

z3c.etree provides some mechanisms (a common interface) for integrating any ElementTree engine with the Zope component architecture. This allows applications to look up a engine against this interface. As such this package does not implement the ElementTree API.

z3c.etree also provides a set of utilities that can be used to make testing XML output in doctests easier. This functionality can also be called from a python based unit test via the assertXMLEqual method.

Developers
>>> import z3c.etree
>>> import z3c.etree.testing
>>> engine = z3c.etree.testing.etreeSetup()

Here are some examples for how to use z3c.etree with your own code.

To generate a Element object with the tag DAV:getcontenttype all we have to do is:

>>> etree = z3c.etree.getEngine()
>>> elem = etree.Element("{DAV:}getcontenttype")
>>> elem #doctest:+ELLIPSIS
<Element ...>
>>> z3c.etree.testing.assertXMLEqual(etree.tostring(elem), """
...    <getcontenttype xmlns="DAV:"/>""")

Now to add a value this element use just use the elem variable has the API suggests.

>>> elem.text = "text/plain"
>>> z3c.etree.testing.assertXMLEqual(etree.tostring(elem), """
...    <getcontenttype xmlns="DAV:">text/plain</getcontenttype>""")
Tear-down
>>> z3c.etree.testing.etreeTearDown()
