Troubles while parsing with python very large xml file

Question

I have a large xml file (about 84MB) which is in this form:

    ...
    ....
    ...
         


        

Answer 1

Try with lxml which is more easy to use.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from lxml import etree

with open("myfile.xml") as fp:
    tree = etree.parse(fp)
    root = tree.getroot()

    print root.tag

    for book in root:
        print book.text
