The packages ElementTree and lxml uses an "Element Tree" view of .xml files differing from the Document Object Model (DOM).

The Element class in lxml contains the following attributes:

• .tag: The name of the element.
• .text: The text inside the element, up to the first child element. Equals None if no text.
• .tail: The text following the element.
• .attrib: Python dictionary with the elements attributes and their values.

ElementTree methods:

Element.findall(elementtype) : Get all child elements of the type elementtype.

Element.get(name): get the attribute value of the attribute name.

Element.attrib.keys(): Show attribute keys of the element.
