Hi All,
I would like to extract XML from a table and then manipulate it.
The process being something like this in horrible pseudo-code:
my table fields = id:1, name:Alan, price:5
xmldata = table.xml
transform xmldata, e.g.
xmldata.replace_element_name('name', 'newname')
xmldata.replace_element_value('price', '8')
return xmldata
Output: <item> <id>1</id> <newname>Alan</newname> <price>8</price> </
item>
I call my controller in browser and receive my transformed XML
I guess it might use .xml and TAG for example. Has anyone got an
example of doing what I want? Maybe I have to use lxml or even
beautiful soup, but it seems that web2py already has all the
ingredients.
Regards,
David
