This includes modules to work with the Standard Generalized Markup +Language (SGML) and the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and several interfaces +for working with the Extensible Markup Language (XML). + +It is important to note that modules in the :mod:`xml` package require that +there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. Starting with Python +2.3, the Expat parser is included with Python, so the :mod:`xml.parsers.expat` +module will always be available. You may still want to be aware of the `PyXML +add-on package <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>`_; that package provides an +extended set of XML libraries for Python. + +The documentation for the :mod:`xml.dom` and :mod:`xml.sax` packages are the +definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX interfaces. + + +.. toctree:: + + htmlparser.rst + sgmllib.rst + htmllib.rst + pyexpat.rst + xml.dom.rst + xml.dom.minidom.rst + xml.dom.pulldom.rst + xml.sax.rst + xml.sax.handler.rst + xml.sax.utils.rst + xml.sax.reader.rst + xml.etree.elementtree.rst + +.. seealso:: + + `Python/XML Libraries <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>`_ + Home page for the PyXML package, containing an extension of :mod:`xml` package + bundled with Python. + |
