<p>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).</p>
<p>It is important to note that modules in the <a class="reference internal" href="xml.html#module-xml" title="xml: Package containing XML processing modules"><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">xml</span></tt></a> package require that
there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. Starting with Python
2.3, the Expat parser is included with Python, so the <a class="reference internal" href="pyexpat.html#module-xml.parsers.expat" title="xml.parsers.expat: An interface to the Expat non-validating XML parser."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">xml.parsers.expat</span></tt></a>
module will always be available. You may still want to be aware of the <a class="reference external" href="http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/">PyXML
add-on package</a>; that package provides an
extended set of XML libraries for Python.</p>
<p>The documentation for the <a class="reference internal" href="xml.dom.html#module-xml.dom" title="xml.dom: Document Object Model API for Python."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">xml.dom</span></tt></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="xml.sax.html#module-xml.sax" title="xml.sax: Package containing SAX2 base classes and convenience functions."><tt class="xref py py-mod docutils literal"><span class="pre">xml.sax</span></tt></a> packages are the
definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX interfaces.</p>
