在ElementTree中使用XPath通过文本查找元素

问题描述：

给出如下所示的XML:

Given an XML like the following:

<root>
    <element>A</element>
    <element>B</element>
</root>

如何使用ElementTree及其对XPath的支持将元素与内容A相匹配?谢谢

How can I match the element with content A using ElementTree and its support for XPath? Thanks

答

AFAIK ElementTree不支持XPath.变了吗?

AFAIK ElementTree does not support XPath. Has it changed?

无论如何，您可以使用 lxml 和以下XPath表达式:

Anyway, you can use lxml and the following XPath expression:

import lxml.etree
doc = lxml.etree.parse('t.xml')
print doc.xpath('//element[text()="A"]')[0].text
print doc.xpath('//element[text()="A"]')[0].tag

结果将是:

A
element
