How can I use XML in Python?

You can use the xml.etree.ElementTree module to parse and create XML in Python. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example for parsing XML.

Here's a simple example:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

# Parse XML
tree = ET.parse('file.xml')
root = tree.getroot()

# Access elements
for child in root:
    print(child.tag, child.attrib)

This code reads an XML file and prints the tags and attributes of its elements.

What if I want to create an XML file instead?

You can create an XML file using the same module. Here's an example:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

# Create the root element
root = ET.Element('data')

# Create a child element
child = ET.SubElement(root, 'item')
child.text = 'This is an item'

# Write to an XML file
tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
with open('output.xml', 'wb') as fh:
    tree.write(fh)

This will create an XML file named output.xml.
