我们假设我有一个像这样的XML：

<author type="XXX" language="EN" gender="xx" feature="xx" web="foobar.com">
    <documents count="N">
        <document KEY="e95a9a6c790ecb95e46cf15bee517651" web="www.foo_bar_exmaple.com"><![CDATA[A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]
]]>
        </document>
        <document KEY="bc360cfbafc39970587547215162f0db" web="www.foo_bar_exmaple.com"><![CDATA[A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]
]]>
        </document>
        <document KEY="19e71144c50a8b9160b3f0955e906fce" web="www.foo_bar_exmaple.com"><![CDATA[A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]

我想阅读这个XML文件并将其转换为pandas DataFrame：

key                                         type     language    feature            web                         data
e95324a9a6c790ecb95e46cf15bE232ee517651      XXX        EN          xx      www.foo_bar_exmaple.com     A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]
e95324a9a6c790ecb95e46cf15bE232ee517651      XXX        EN          xx      www.foo_bar_exmaple.com     A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]
19e71144c50a8b9160b3cvdf2324f0955e906fce     XXX        EN          xx      www.foo_bar_exmaple.com     A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]
21d4af9021a174f61b8erf284606c74d9e42         XXX        EN          xx      www.foo_bar_exmaple.com     A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]
28a45eb2460823499763d70vdf9ca00ddbb665       XXX        EN          xx      www.foo_bar_exmaple.com     A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]

这是我已经尝试过的，但是我遇到了一些错误，可能还有一种更有效的方法来完成这项任务：

from lxml import objectify
import pandas as pd

path = 'file_path'
xml = objectify.parse(open(path))
root = xml.getroot()
root.getchildren()[0].getchildren()
df = pd.DataFrame(columns=('key','type', 'language', 'feature', 'web', 'data'))

for i in range(0,len(xml)):
    obj = root.getchildren()[i].getchildren()
    row = dict(zip(['key','type', 'language', 'feature', 'web', 'data'], [obj[0].text, obj[1].text]))
    row_s = pd.Series(row)
    row_s.name = i
    df = df.append(row_s)

有人能为我提供更好的解决方案吗？

解决方案

您可以轻松地使用xml（从Python标准库）转换为pandas.DataFrame。这就是我要做的事情（当从文件中读取替换xml_data文件或文件对象的名称时）：

import pandas as pd
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import io

def iter_docs(author):
    author_attr = author.attrib
    for doc in author.iter('document'):
        doc_dict = author_attr.copy()
        doc_dict.update(doc.attrib)
        doc_dict['data'] = doc.text
        yield doc_dict

xml_data = io.StringIO(u'''\
<author type="XXX" language="EN" gender="xx" feature="xx" web="foobar.com">
    <documents count="N">
        <document KEY="e95a9a6c790ecb95e46cf15bee517651" web="www.foo_bar_exmaple.com"><![CDATA[A large text with lots of strings and punctuations symbols [...]

''')

etree = ET.parse(xml_data) #create an ElementTree object 
doc_df = pd.DataFrame(list(iter_docs(etree.getroot())))

如果您的原始文档中有多个作者或XML的根不是author，则我将添加以下生成器：

def iter_author(etree):
    for author in etree.iter('author'):
        for row in iter_docs(author):
            yield row

并doc_df = pd.DataFrame(list(iter_docs(etree.getroot())))改为doc_df = pd.DataFrame(list(iter_author(etree)))
