Workshop 2
Firstly, I created file, WML_create_miniDOM.py, as per instruction. Then executed the file by using IDLE but returned syntax error.
Then we changed the “From” to “from” in the document and run again with positive result as follows:
<?xml version=”1.0” ?>
<wml>
<card id=”main”>
<p>
XML for e-business!
</p>
</card>
</wml>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I created the file, native_plants.xml, as per instruction. Then, I modified the poetry.py as follows and save as native_plants_SAXparser.py. Lastly, I executed the file, native_plants_SAXparser.py, by IDLE and returned the result as below.
Code of “native_plants_SAXparser.py”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#!/usr/local/bin/python
# Defining my specialized handler classes
from xml.sax.handler import ContentHandler
import xml.sax, sys
class textHandler(ContentHandler):
def characters(self, ch):
sys.stdout.write(ch)
# Creating an XML parser
parser = xml.sax.make_parser()
# Creating an instance of the handler classes
handler = textHandler()
# Telling the parser to use your handler instance
parser.setContentHandler(handler)
# Parsing the file; my handler’s method will get called
parser.parse(“native_plants.xml”)
Result:
Nepenthes burbidgeae
Nusa rubinea
Drosera spatulata
