解析xml的步骤
获取xml文件
- 在当前路径下获取xml
tree = ET.ElementTree(file=文件名) # 文件名为字符串类型
获取xml根节点
- 使用elementtree中tree对象的getroot()来获得当前xml的根节点
root = tree.getroot()
获取各节点的值
- 使用xpath来描述所需的节点
<?xml version="1.0"?>

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
root = ET.fromstring(countrydata)
# Top-level elements
root.findall(".")
# All 'neighbor' grand-children of 'country' children of the top-level
# elements
root.findall("./country/neighbor")
# Nodes with name='Singapore' that have a 'year' child
root.findall(".//year/..[@name='Singapore']")
# 'year' nodes that are children of nodes with name='Singapore'
root.findall(".//*[@name='Singapore']/year")
# All 'neighbor' nodes that are the second child of their parent
root.findall(".//neighbor[2]")
