xml parsing using minidom and python

Question

I have an xml like below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Samplexml>"
<CustomProperty>
   <Name>Test1</Name>
   <Value>TestValue1</Value>
</CustomProperty>
</Samplexml>`

I am trying to get the values Test1 and TestValue1. I am trying multiple ways but not able to get the values. How to get the values by not using something like "getElementsbyTagName"Name"/"Value"" as Child nodes names keep on changing.

Answer 1

So I assume that you will not be using Name and Value to find its text because it will be changing. So you can use something like below which should help you solve your issue.Also I assume that your tag named will be same

    import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
    tree = ET.parse('sample.xml')
    for child in tree.find('CustomProperty'):
        print(child.text)

For this example code you will get your output like below:

    Test1
    TestValue1

Your xml file seems to have an extra character at the ending, please change that as well like the below.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <Samplexml>
    <CustomProperty>
    <Name>Test1</Name>
    <Value>TestValue1</Value>
    </CustomProperty>
    </Samplexml>
