Package zeroinstall :: Package injector :: Module qdom

Module qdom

A quick DOM implementation.

Python's xml.dom is very slow. The xml.sax module is also slow (as it imports urllib2). This is our light-weight version.

Classes
	Element An XML element.
	QSAXhandler SAXHandler that builds a tree of Elements
	Prefixes Keep track of namespace prefixes.

Functions

Element

parse(source, filter_for_version=False)
