SaxyPy

Dealing with XML is a chore, no matter what language. It should be as easy as JSON, but for some reason it isn't. Wasn't. It is now:

import json
import saxypy

data = saxypy.parse(open('example.xml', 'r'))
print json.dumps(data, sort_keys=True, indent=4)

import saxypy

data = {
    'root': {
        'item': [
            {
                '@id': 1,
                'name': 'something',
            },
            {
                '@id': 2,
                'name': 'other thing',
            },
            {
                '@id': 3,
                '!text': 'asdfa',
            },
        ],
    },
}
print saxypy.dump(data)

That's it. As it should have always been.
