I am working on a SOAP api with python-suds.
Api returns result and suds parse it according to WSDL. result data have an XML data field
(MyServiceResult){
errorMsg = "Error Message here..."
sessionId = "..."
outputDataXML = "<![CDATA[<Results>.....<Details>....</Details></Results>]]>"
errorCode = "00"
}
So I planned to use xml.etree.ElementTree to parse the xml data part outputDataXML. But since returning data starts with <![CDATA[, xml parser fails with
ParseError: syntax error: line 1, column 0
What is the best approach for a such situation except usge of regex?
Call ET.fromstring once to extract the text from the CDATA. Call ET.fromstring a second time to parse the string as XML:
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
d = '<![CDATA[<Results>.....<Details>....</Details></Results>]]>'
fix = '<root>{}</root>'.format(d)
content = ET.fromstring(fix).text
print(repr(content))
# '<Results>.....<Details>....</Details></Results>'
results = ET.fromstring(content)
print(ET.tostring(results))
# <Results>.....<Details>....</Details></Results>
