| 8 | Python supports a variety of modules to work with various forms of structured |
| 9 | data markup. This includes modules to work with the Standard Generalized Markup |
| 10 | Language (SGML) and the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and several interfaces |
| 11 | for working with the Extensible Markup Language (XML). |
| 12 | |
| 13 | It is important to note that modules in the :mod:`xml` package require that |
| Georg Brandl | e6bcc91 | 2008-05-12 18:05:20 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 14 | there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. The Expat parser is |
| 15 | included with Python, so the :mod:`xml.parsers.expat` module will always be |
| 16 | available. |

| 18 | The documentation for the :mod:`xml.dom` and :mod:`xml.sax` packages are the |
| 19 | definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX interfaces. |
