Parse large python xml using xmltree -


i have python script parses huge xml files ( largest 1 446 mb)

    try:         parser = etree.xmlparser(encoding='utf-8')         tree = etree.parse(os.path.join(srcdir, filename), parser)         root = tree.getroot()     except exception, e:         print "error parsing file "+str(filename) + " reason "+str(e.message)      child in root:         if "personname" in child.tag:             personname = child.text

this xml looks :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <myroot xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema" uuid="ertr" xmlns="http://www.example.org/yml/data/litsmlv2">   <aliases authority="opp" xmlns="http://www.example.org/yml/data/commonv2">      <description>mydata</description>      <identifier>43hhjh87n4nm</identifier>   </aliases>   <rollno uom="kpa">39979172.201167159</rollno>   <personname>miracle smith</personname>   <date>2017-06-02t01:10:32-05:00</date> ....

all want personname tags contents thats all. other tags don't care about.

sadly files huge , keep getting error when use code above :

error parsing file 2eb6d894-0775-e611.xml reason unknown error, line 1, column 310915857 error parsing file 2ecc18b5-ef41-e711-80f.xml reason content @ end of document, line 1, column 3428182 error parsing file 2f0d6926-b602-e711-80f4-005.xml reason content @ end of document, line 1, column 6162118 error parsing file 2f12636b-b2f5-e611-80f3-00.xml reason content @ end of document, line 1, column 8014679 error parsing file 2f14e35a-d22b-4504-8866-.xml reason content @ end of document, line 1, column 8411238 error parsing file 2f50c2eb-55c6-e611-80f0-005056a.xml reason content @ end of document, line 1, column 7636614 error parsing file 3a1a3806-b6af-e611-80ef-00505.xml reason content @ end of document, line 1, column 11032486

my xml fine , has no content .seems large files parsing causes error. have looked @ iterparse() seems complex want achieve provides parsing of whole dom while want 1 tag under root. , not give me sample correct value tag name ?

should use regex parse or grep /awk way ? or tweak code let me person name in these huge files ?

update: tried sample , seems printing whole world xml except tag ?

does iterparse read bottom top of file ? in case take long time top i.e personname tag ? tried changing line below read end start events=("end", "start") , same thing !!!

path = [] event, elem in et.iterparse('d:\\mystage\\2-80ea-005056.xml', events=("start", "end")):     if event == 'start':             path.append(elem.tag)     elif event == 'end':             # process tag             print elem.text  // prints whole world              if elem.tag == 'personname':                 print elem.text             path.pop()

iterparse not difficult use in case.

temp.xml file presented in question </myroot> stuck on line @ end.

think of source = boilerplace, if will, parses xml file , returns chunks of element-by-element, indicating whether chunk 'start' of element or 'end' , supplying information element.

in case need consider 'start' events. watch 'personname' tags , pick texts. having found 1 , such item in xml file abandon processing.

>>> xml.etree import elementtree >>> source = iter(elementtree.iterparse('temp.xml', events=('start', 'end'))) >>> an_event, an_element in source: ...     if an_event=='start' , an_element.tag.endswith('personname'): ...         an_element.text ...         break ...  'miracle smith'

edit, in response question in comment:

normally wouldn't since iterparse intended use large chunks of xml. however, wrapping string in stringio object can processed iterparse.

>>> xml.etree import elementtree >>> io import stringio >>> xml = stringio('''\ ... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> ... <myroot xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema" uuid="ertr" xmlns="http://www.example.org/yml/data/litsmlv2"> ...   <aliases authority="opp" xmlns="http://www.example.org/yml/data/commonv2"> ...        <description>mydata</description> ...             <identifier>43hhjh87n4nm</identifier> ...               </aliases> ...                 <rollno uom="kpa">39979172.201167159</rollno> ...                   <personname>miracle smith</personname> ...                     <date>2017-06-02t01:10:32-05:00</date> ... </myroot>''') >>> source = iter(elementtree.iterparse(xml, events=('start', 'end'))) >>> an_event, an_element in source: ...     if an_event=='start' , an_element.tag.endswith('personname'): ...         an_element.text ...         break ...      'miracle smith'

minify - Minimizing css files -

i want know how css files can minimized. currently, using external sites css minifier compress css files. however, after removing whitespaces, comments, etc, file sizes reduced 10-15%. how frameworks bootstrap manage make minimized versions kilobytes. as example, css is: body { background-color: #ff0; } the reduction goes 28 bytes 22 bytes other css files have lot more characters still smaller this. actually minifying code means it's remove thing code white space characters new line characters comments block delimiters it reduces amount of code has transferred on web , speed site load fastly.but unreadable format.
