XML is a markup language like HTML which is used to describe data. XML documents are basically used to share the structured data via internet. In this tutorial, we will covering the basics of Python's ElementTree library which can be used for creating/writing xml documents. There are two versions of ElementTree available in Python's Library - one version is a pure python implementation, while the other is implemented in C for performance. So, it is always advised  to use the C version of the ElementTree. In case C implementation is not available on the OS that you are working on, native python library can be used. So, our below import of the library will ensure to use the C version of the library if available, otherwise it'll fallback to Python's version. try: import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET except ImportError: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET ElementTree Library has two main classes to represent a xml document in the memory :- ElementT
