Internal subclass to parse XML into DataFrames.
Parameters
----------
path_or_buffer : a valid JSON str, path object or file-like object
Any valid string path is acceptable. The string could be a URL. Valid
URL schemes include http, ftp, s3, and file.
xpath : str or regex
The XPath expression to parse required set of nodes for
migration to `Data Frame`. `etree` supports limited XPath.
namespaces : dict
The namespaces defined in XML document (`xmlns:namespace='URI')
as dicts with key being namespace and value the URI.
elems_only : bool
Parse only the child elements at the specified `xpath`.
attrs_only : bool
Parse only the attributes at the specified `xpath`.
names : list
Column names for Data Frame of parsed XML data.
dtype : dict
Data type for data or columns. E.g. {{'a': np.float64,
'b': np.int32, 'c': 'Int64'}}
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
converters : dict, optional
Dict of functions for converting values in certain columns. Keys can
either be integers or column labels.
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
parse_dates : bool or list of int or names or list of lists or dict
Converts either index or select columns to datetimes
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
encoding : str
Encoding of xml object or document.
stylesheet : str or file-like
URL, file, file-like object, or a raw string containing XSLT,
`etree` does not support XSLT but retained for consistency.
iterparse : dict, optional
Dict with row element as key and list of descendant elements
and/or attributes as value to be retrieved in iterparsing of
XML document.
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
{decompression_options}
.. versionchanged:: 1.4.0 Zstandard support.
{storage_options}

r"""
Read XML document into a ``DataFrame`` object.
.. versionadded:: 1.3.0
Parameters
----------
path_or_buffer : str, path object, or file-like object
String, path object (implementing ``os.PathLike[str]``), or file-like
object implementing a ``read()`` function. The string can be any valid XML
string or a path. The string can further be a URL. Valid URL schemes
include http, ftp, s3, and file.
xpath : str, optional, default './\*'
The XPath to parse required set of nodes for migration to DataFrame.
XPath should return a collection of elements and not a single
element. Note: The ``etree`` parser supports limited XPath
expressions. For more complex XPath, use ``lxml`` which requires
installation.
namespaces : dict, optional
The namespaces defined in XML document as dicts with key being
namespace prefix and value the URI. There is no need to include all
namespaces in XML, only the ones used in ``xpath`` expression.
Note: if XML document uses default namespace denoted as
`xmlns='<URI>'` without a prefix, you must assign any temporary
namespace prefix such as 'doc' to the URI in order to parse
underlying nodes and/or attributes. For example, ::
namespaces = {{"doc": "https://example.com"}}
elems_only : bool, optional, default False
Parse only the child elements at the specified ``xpath``. By default,
all child elements and non-empty text nodes are returned.
attrs_only : bool, optional, default False
Parse only the attributes at the specified ``xpath``.
By default, all attributes are returned.
names : list-like, optional
Column names for DataFrame of parsed XML data. Use this parameter to
rename original element names and distinguish same named elements and
attributes.
dtype : Type name or dict of column -> type, optional
Data type for data or columns. E.g. {{'a': np.float64, 'b': np.int32,
'c': 'Int64'}}
Use `str` or `object` together with suitable `na_values` settings
to preserve and not interpret dtype.
If converters are specified, they will be applied INSTEAD
of dtype conversion.
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
converters : dict, optional
Dict of functions for converting values in certain columns. Keys can either
be integers or column labels.
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
parse_dates : bool or list of int or names or list of lists or dict, default False
Identifiers to parse index or columns to datetime. The behavior is as follows:
* boolean. If True -> try parsing the index.
* list of int or names. e.g. If [1, 2, 3] -> try parsing columns 1, 2, 3
each as a separate date column.
* list of lists. e.g. If [[1, 3]] -> combine columns 1 and 3 and parse as
a single date column.
* dict, e.g. {{'foo' : [1, 3]}} -> parse columns 1, 3 as date and call
result 'foo'
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
encoding : str, optional, default 'utf-8'
Encoding of XML document.
parser : {{'lxml','etree'}}, default 'lxml'
Parser module to use for retrieval of data. Only 'lxml' and
'etree' are supported. With 'lxml' more complex XPath searches
and ability to use XSLT stylesheet are supported.
stylesheet : str, path object or file-like object
A URL, file-like object, or a raw string containing an XSLT script.
This stylesheet should flatten complex, deeply nested XML documents
for easier parsing. To use this feature you must have ``lxml`` module
installed and specify 'lxml' as ``parser``. The ``xpath`` must
reference nodes of transformed XML document generated after XSLT
transformation and not the original XML document. Only XSLT 1.0
scripts and not later versions is currently supported.
iterparse : dict, optional
The nodes or attributes to retrieve in iterparsing of XML document
as a dict with key being the name of repeating element and value being
list of elements or attribute names that are descendants of the repeated
element. Note: If this option is used, it will replace ``xpath`` parsing
and unlike xpath, descendants do not need to relate to each other but can
exist any where in document under the repeating element. This memory-
efficient method should be used for very large XML files (500MB, 1GB, or 5GB+).
For example, ::
iterparse = {{"row_element": ["child_elem", "attr", "grandchild_elem"]}}
.. versionadded:: 1.5.0
{decompression_options}
.. versionchanged:: 1.4.0 Zstandard support.
{storage_options}
Returns
-------
df
A DataFrame.

--------
read_json : Convert a JSON string to pandas object.
read_html : Read HTML tables into a list of DataFrame objects.
Notes
-----
This method is best designed to import shallow XML documents in
following format which is the ideal fit for the two-dimensions of a
``DataFrame`` (row by column). ::
<root>
<row>
<column1>data</column1>
<column2>data</column2>
<column3>data</column3>
...
</row>
<row>
...
</row>
...
</root>
As a file format, XML documents can be designed any way including
layout of elements and attributes as long as it conforms to W3C
specifications. Therefore, this method is a convenience handler for
a specific flatter design and not all possible XML structures.
However, for more complex XML documents, ``stylesheet`` allows you to
temporarily redesign original document with XSLT (a special purpose
language) for a flatter version for migration to a DataFrame.
This function will *always* return a single :class:`DataFrame` or raise
exceptions due to issues with XML document, ``xpath``, or other
parameters.
See the :ref:`read_xml documentation in the IO section of the docs
<io.read_xml>` for more information in using this method to parse XML
files to DataFrames.
