The libxml2dom package provides a traditional DOM wrapper around the -Python bindings for libxml2. In -contrast -to the standard libxml2 -bindings, libxml2dom provides an API reminiscent of minidom, -pxdom and -other Python-based and -Python-related XML toolkits. Performance is -fairly respectable since libxml2dom makes direct use of libxml2mod - -the low-level wrapping of libxml2 for Python. Moreover, serialisation -of -documents is much faster than many other toolkits because libxml2dom -can make direct -use of libxml2 rather than employing Python-level mechanisms to visit -and serialise nodes.
