[Aarabstrait]

You just saved me a day of work ! Keep up the good content ... +1 sub 👍

Very good explanation. Finally I understood how to deal with XML files.

[Dr.Cosmar]

I stared at my code for a solid 5 mins trying to figure out what I screwed up (19:35) I created my own XML file, and by this point knew it was working just fine. Turns out...i did not capitalize the nodes in the XML file, but I did capitalize them in the code.

It's amazing how "Name" is totally different from "name". No sarcasm, it's flexible.

How are you supposed to know that these 3 functions are getting called in the original class? In your code it is not obvious that they are getting called at all.

BEST XML TUTORIAL FOR PYTHON THANK YOU !!!

[TejNarayanan]

Very well explained, thank you, can you please also suggest how to get the outputs as a separate dataframe/file (especially from the first method).

[VishalSharma-rnmt]

Thank you so much, great video. It helped me a lot.

[samp]

This is a really good tutorial. Thank you so much!

Nicely explained the concept of how to approach an XML file. Thanks for all those details.
I searched your videos and couldn't find anything else about how to use XML files for data analysis. I mean: get needed attributes, nodes and export them into data-frame or CSV file for a further convenient use. There are plenty of 'simple' samples of XML to CSV transformations online, but none with a real 'complex' structured XML with attributes in sub-child and such.
Would it be possible for you to create such 'in demand' tutorial?
BTW, bought your book '3 in 1' and hope to learn a lot on data science.
Cheers,

How to extract values from a tag that has multiple child. For example, if the <person > had multiple tags with <name> then it only gives the first element not the second one.

[qaiszakry]

Hi. In the dom section of your tutorial when you used getElementByTagName you used the index [0] for each of the name, age, weight and height. May I ask you to explain that? I thought since we have a for loop which can take care of getting first index. Please explain

[anilsiddabathula]

Hi bro,
Can yu tell how can i extract xml file in python to csv for data analysis

[oritsemisanomare]

Thank you for this, it was actually easy to understand. But I replicated the last line where you wrote to the XML file, and it didn't work... help please.
