57 | 13. Structured Markup Processing Tools | |
58 | ||
59 | </H1> | |
60 | ||
61 | <P> | |
62 | Python supports a variety of modules to work with various forms of | |
63 | structured data markup. This includes modules to work with the | |
64 | Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and the Hypertext Markup | |
65 | Language (HTML), and several interfaces for working with the | |
66 | Extensible Markup Language (XML). | |
67 | ||
68 | <P> | |
69 | It is important to note that modules in the <tt class="module">xml</tt> package | |
70 | require that there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. | |
71 | Starting with Python 2.3, the Expat parser is included with Python, so | |
72 | the <tt class="module"><a href="module-xml.parsers.expat.html">xml.parsers.expat</a></tt> module will always be available. | |
73 | You may still want to be aware of the <a class="ulink" href="http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/" | |
74 | >PyXML add-on | |
75 | package</a>; that package provides an | |
76 | extended set of XML libraries for Python. | |
77 | ||
78 | <P> | |
79 | The documentation for the <tt class="module">xml.dom</tt> and <tt class="module">xml.sax</tt> | |
80 | packages are the definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX | |
81 | interfaces. | |
82 | ||
