JAXML 3.02

JAXML is a Python module which makes the automated generation of XML, XHTML or HTML documents easy.

This module is part of the official Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

If we believe our logs, it seems to be used internally by companies and universities worldwide : Boeing , Philips , Sanofi , and many others... Please tell us if you use it.

Documents generated with JAXML are still easily human readable.

Here are two samples of automated XML document generation, the first one with the classical file objects, the second one using JAXML:

# --- Classical Version
fp = open("sample.xml", "w")
fp.write('< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"? >n')
fp.write('< sometag someattr="1" >n')
fp.write(' < anothertag jaxml="Nice" >n')
fp.write(' < thirdone >Yo< /thirdone >n')
fp.write(' < /anothertag >n')
fp.write('< /sometag >n')
fp.close()

# an equivalent version using JAXML
import jaxml
doc = jaxml.XML_document()
doc.sometag(someattr=1).anothertag(jaxml="Nice")
doc.thirdone("Yo")
doc._output("sample.xml")

# Both produce the same output
< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"? >
< sometag someattr="1" >
< anothertag jaxml="Nice" >
< thirdone >Yo< /thirdone >
< /anothertag >
< /sometag >

As you may see above, JAXML takes care of the most annoying things for you :

- closing tags

- indentation to maintain human readability

But more than that JAXML gives you some interesting possibilities :

- full support of xml namespaces since version 3.0

- a base class which takes care of all sorts of tagged documents

- add or multiply documents

- output to file objects, strings, file names

- special constructs or shortcuts dedicated to HTML or CGI output

- Two different templating facilities

- And many more...
