Element.findall()
Element.findall() is a Python method in the XML Module category. Finds all child elements matching a tag name or XPath. The syntax is element.findall(match, namespaces=None). Returns: List of Elements. A typical example: for item in root.findall("item"):
print(item.text). A close sibling is xml.etree.ElementTree.parse(), which parses an XML file and returns an ElementTree object. A close sibling is xml.etree.ElementTree.fromstring(), which parses XML from a string and returns an Element. A close sibling is xml.etree.ElementTree.tostring(), which serializes an Element to bytes (XML string). A close sibling is xml.etree.ElementTree.Element(), which creates a new XML element with the given tag and attributes.
