How to alter 2 subelements of xml file in python by their tag parameter using ElementTree?-CodePudding

I have an xml file like this, I want to alter the 2 sub-elements.

I tried like below.

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

file_name = 'manifest.mpd'
tree = ET.parse(file_name)
root = tree.getroot()

for elem in root:
    for subelem in elem:
        a = subelem.attrib
        if a['mimeType'] == 'audio/mp4':
            if subelem.get('lang') == 'bg':
                source_elem = subelem
                break

for elem in root:
    for subelem in elem:
        d = subelem.attrib
        if d['mimeType'] == 'audio/mp4':
            if (subelem.get('lang') == 'tr'):
                subelem = source_elem

tree.write('output.mpd')

Below is my xml file.

      <?xml version="1.0" ?>

I want to alter the below complete node(first audio type node)

<AdaptationSet mimeType="audio/mp4" startWithSAP="1" segmentAlignment="true" lang="en">
  <SegmentTemplate timescale="1000" duration="2000" initialization="$RepresentationID$/init.mp4" media="$RepresentationID$/seg-$Number$.m4s" startNumber="1"/>
  <Representation id="audio/en/mp4a.40.2" codecs="mp4a.40.2" bandwidth="131529" audioSamplingRate="48000">
    <AudioChannelConfiguration schemeIdUri="urn:mpeg:mpegB:cicp:ChannelConfiguration" value="2"/>
  </Representation>
</AdaptationSet>

with it's any other node(audio type node)

<AdaptationSet mimeType="audio/mp4" startWithSAP="1" segmentAlignment="true" lang="tr">
  <SegmentTemplate timescale="1000" duration="4800" initialization="$RepresentationID$/init.mp4" media="$RepresentationID$/seg-$Number$.m4s" startNumber="1"/>
  <Representation id="audio/tr/mp4a.40.2" codecs="mp4a.40.2" bandwidth="127472" audioSamplingRate="44100">
    <AudioChannelConfiguration schemeIdUri="urn:mpeg:mpegB:cicp:ChannelConfiguration" value="2"/>
  </Representation>
</AdaptationSet>

And save this content into a new xml file.

Is there any methods to replace nodes?

I tried by searching the nodes with their 'lang' parameter, but I couldn't get it.

To be clearly Any audio node has to be replaced(shifted/altered) with audio node.

e.g. I want the node which is having the lang="bg" to be shifted with the node which is having the lang="en".

Any help would be appreciate. Thanks in advance.

CodePudding user response：

Assuming that you want to order the languages in a custom (speak: different) order, you can use an XSLT-1.0 stylesheet that can be processed by any XSLT-1.0 capable processor (like xsltproc, Saxon, Xalan and others).

It could look like this (using the lang tags as criteria for ordering):

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:mpeg="urn:mpeg:dash:schema:mpd:2011">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="mpeg:AdaptationSet[@mimeType='audio/mp4'][1]">
    <xsl:copy-of select="../mpeg:AdaptationSet[@mimeType='audio/mp4'][@lang='bg']" />
    <xsl:copy-of select="../mpeg:AdaptationSet[@mimeType='audio/mp4'][@lang='en']" />
    <xsl:copy-of select="../mpeg:AdaptationSet[@mimeType='audio/mp4'][@lang='ru']" />
    <xsl:copy-of select="../mpeg:AdaptationSet[@mimeType='audio/mp4'][@lang='tr']" />
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="mpeg:AdaptationSet[@mimeType='audio/mp4'][position() > 1]" />
      
</xsl:stylesheet>

Its output is:

You can call this XSLT from Python like described in this answer. Pay attention to the fact that other languages than the ones being copied are ignored without notice.

I recommend you having a look at The ElementTree XML API in Python: link

I've used it in the past to parse really large XML files (over 1gb) and it was one of the fastest solutions that I've found.
