prefix by using the -r
(cli) or raw=True
(module) option.
Text values for nodes will have the key-name of #text
.
Usage (cli):
$ cat foo.xml | jc --xml
Usage (module):
import jc
result = jc.parse('xml', xml_file_output)
Schema:
XML Document converted to a Dictionary. See https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict for details.
