This example demonstrates how to read, modify, and extend an XML document using BeautifulSoup’s XML parser. The code loads `template.xml`, then directly alters the text content of the `size.width` tag and appends a newly created `object` tag to the root annotation. Finally, it prints the updated document with `prettify()` for readable formatting. The example highlights BeautifulSoup’s `new_tag` and `append` APIs for programmatic XML manipulation, showing how to treat the document as a mutable tree structure.

Third title

This example demonstrates how to use XPath queries with lxml to extract data from both HTML and XML documents. It shows techniques for selecting elements by tag name, attribute values, and text content, as well as navigating the document tree with axes like `following-sibling` and the `..` operator. The code uses `lxml.html.fromstring` and `lxml.etree.fromstring` to parse content fetched from a live website and a hardcoded XML sample, respectively. It highlights namespace handling in XML, showing that prefixed queries require explicit namespace mapping, while unprefixed queries fail without a default namespace binding. The example also illustrates retrieving attribute values like `setCount` and iterating over all elements with `getiterator`.

<title>Testing XPath

This example demonstrates how an XML TEI document’s structure can be queried using XPath and represented as an interactive node-link diagram. It displays the document’s hierarchical elements—such as `teiHeader`, `text`, `body`, and `p`—as circles connected by links, with text content visible alongside node labels. The visualization uses D3.js’s `d3.hierarchy` and `d3.tree` layout to calculate positions, while `d3.zoom` enables panning and zooming. The code loads the XML via a local file and parses it with `DOMParser`, then applies XPath expressions via `document.evaluate` to extract elements and text for rendering.

let's make a list from a data file! (xml)

This example uses a small XML file to generate an HTML list. It reads the data from `data.xml` using D3's `xml()` function, then maps the parsed XML elements to list items. The code selects the `<ul>` element, applies D3's selection and data-binding API, and appends an `<li>` for each `<memo>` node, displaying its text content. The visualization highlights how server-side XML data can be directly transformed into client-side DOM elements within a D3.js workflow.

This example visualizes the structure of an XML Schema Definition (XSD) file, specifically the `ViewportType` complex type, using an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation (XSLT) file. It shows the hierarchical relationships between elements, attributes, and attribute groups, with type declarations and default values displayed. The rendering relies on XSLT to transform the raw XSD source into a graphical tree layout, though no JavaScript visualization libraries like D3 or Canvas APIs are present in the provided code. Instead, the approach uses pure XSLT transformations to produce an XML-based representation that could be styled externally.

This example shows a dynamic, browser-automated web-scraping workflow that captures rendered page content. It uses Selenium’s `webdriver` to launch a Chrome browser, wait for elements via `WebDriverWait` and `expected_conditions`, and then extracts page HTML with BeautifulSoup. The script programmatically sends keyboard inputs via `Keys`, and also employs the `requests` library for direct HTTP calls. It parses the returned data with `json`, timestamps actions with `datetime`, and structures results into a pandas DataFrame. The process includes randomized delays (`random` and `time`) to mimic human browsing behavior, though no explicit visualization or rendering library is used beyond the raw captured markup.

XML Parsing

This example shows a bar chart of letter frequencies in English, ordered from A to Z. It demonstrates how to load an external XML file using `d3.xml` and parse it with the selectors API, specifically `querySelectorAll` and `getAttribute`. The code uses D3 v3 to bind the parsed data to SVG rectangles, with ordinal and linear scales for the axes. Data resides in a simple XML file with `<letter>` elements, and the chart updates on hover with a color change.

Gist 3511582

This example uses an XSLT stylesheet to define a skinned 3D model type, organizing bones, muscles, segments, sites, skeleton, and skin as structured XML elements. It specifies attributes for spatial transforms like translation, rotation, and scale, along with default values for rendering. The code leverages XML Schema definitions for the 3D node types, with no JavaScript libraries or rendering APIs involved, as it focuses solely on the schema and markup structure rather than data visualization.

Parse Text Node as XML

This example demonstrates the transformation of CSV data containing organism records into structured XML, specifically parsing a text column of notes as embedded XML. It shows two versions of the process: the first uses a verbose `fn:parse-xml` call wrapped in a `<notes>` element, while the second simplifies the syntax with an `element notes` constructor. Both versions fetch remote CSV data via the `http:send-request` API, parse it with `csv:parse`, and iterate through records to repackage fields, replacing the raw notes text with parsed XML content. The data source is the Bioimages repository’s `organisms-small.csv` file.
