RE: [xml-dev] element census tool?

Original Requirements:

 

I'm looking for a tool that I can feed an XML document, and it will tell

me which element names were used in the document.”

 

I’d say the 1-liner does htat

That doesn't look like it includes the attributes listing, nor the path to each element, as in the original request.

 

Heck, 1-liners are easy if you simplify requirements ;)

 

import sys, amara; doc = amara.parse(sys.argv[1]); print [ e.xml_qname for e in doc.xml_select('//*')]"

 

Note: above includes the details of actually loading the file.  I suspect you might have to specify a bit more in the xmlsh example?

There’s always the XQuery approach

( example in xmlsh)

 

xquery  -q  ‘ distinct-values( //node-name(.) ) ‘

Oh what the heck.  I might as well offer a quick and dirty Amara [1] recipe.

 

import sys

 

import amara

from amara.lib.util import element_subtree_iter

from amara.xpath.util import abspath

 

doc = amara.parse(sys.argv[1])

top_prefixes = dict(doc.xml_select('*')[0].xml_namespaces)

for e in element_subtree_iter(doc):

    print abspath(e, prefixes=top_prefixes)

    attrs = dict(e.xml_attributes)

    if attrs:

        print '\t', attrs

 

 

So for example:

 

/xbel

            {(None, u'version'): u'1.0'}

/xbel/title

/xbel/folder

            {(None, u'folded'): u'yes'}

/xbel/folder[2]

            {(None, u'folded'): u'yes'}

/xbel/folder[2]/title

/xbel/folder[2]/bookmark

            {(None, u'href'): u'http://www.sciam.com/1999/0599issue/0599bosak.html'}

 

Pretty easy to tweak or format and details of report, etc.

 

In the example above I pass along a URL.  You can also pass along a file name, if you like.
