I'm using ElementTree to parse a simple string of xml:
<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">maison</string>
That's the root. All I want is the contents of that tag, to convert into json. 'translation' is the xml text.
tree = ET.ElementTree(translation)
root = tree.getroot()
return root.text
It looks simple enough but it's throwing the " Object has no attribute 'text' " error. What am I doing wrong?
You should use fromstring
to parse that xml, to get the text for this tag, do this:
tree = ET.fromstring(translate)
print tree.text()
'maison'
should also point out that ET.ElementTree
doesn't have attribute text
