| Structured Markup Processing Tools |
| ********************************** |
| |
| Python supports a variety of modules to work with various forms of structured |
| data markup. This includes modules to work with the Standard Generalized Markup |
| Language (SGML) and the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and several interfaces |
| for working with the Extensible Markup Language (XML). |
| |
| It is important to note that modules in the :mod:`xml` package require that |
| there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. The Expat parser is |
| included with Python, so the :mod:`xml.parsers.expat` module will always be |
| available. |
| |
| The documentation for the :mod:`xml.dom` and :mod:`xml.sax` packages are the |
| definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX interfaces. |
