How to get data in csv format from xml data-CodePudding

I have been trying to write xml code to retrieve the data in csv format

When I use i.text it gives all data in one line I am expecting data should be in csv format

My code :

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

data='''

<breakfast_menu>
    <food>
        <name>Belgian Waffles</name>
        <price>$5.95</price>
        <description>Two of our famous Belgian Waffles with plenty of real maple syrup</description>
        <calories>650</calories>
    </food>
    <food>
        <name>Strawberry Belgian Waffles</name>
        <price>$7.95</price>
        <description>Light Belgian waffles covered with strawberries and whipped cream</description>
        <calories>900</calories>
    </food>
</breakfast_menu>

'''

xml_parser = ET.fromstring(data)
count_of_child_element = []
cnt = 0
for i in xml_parser.getiterator():
    if i.tag == 'food':
        count_of_child_element.append(cnt)
        cnt = cnt   1

for indx in range(len(count_of_child_element)):
    for x in xml_parser[indx]:
        print(x.text,end=' ')
        print()

Expected output :

Belgian Waffles,$5.95,Two of our famous Belgian Waffles with plenty of real maple syrup,650
Strawberry Belgian Waffles,$7.95,Light Belgian waffles covered with strawberries and whipped cream,900

CodePudding user response：

This should give the output you are looking for:

xml_parser = ET.fromstring(data)

for indx in range(len(xml_parser)):
    for x in range(len(xml_parser[indx])):
        e = xml_parser[indx][x]
        print(e.text, end="")
        if x != len(xml_parser[indx]) - 1:
            print(",", end="")
    print()
