XML/Output

Create a function that takes a list of character names and a list of corresponding remarks and returns an XML doccument of <Character> elements each with a name attributes and each enclosing its remarks. All <Character> elements are to be enclosed in turn, in an outer <CharacterRemarks> element.

As an example, calling the function with the three names of:

April
Tam O'Shanter
Emily

And three remarks of:

Bubbly: I'm > Tam and <= Emily
Burns: "When chapman billies leave the street ..."
Short & shrift

Should produce the XML (but not necessarily with the indentation):

<CharacterRemarks>
    <Character name="April">Bubbly: I'm &gt; Tam and &lt;= Emily</Character>
    <Character name="Tam O&apos;Shanter"
            >Burns: &quot;When chapman billies leave the street ...&quot;</Character>
    <Character name="Emily">Short &amp; shrift</Character>
</CharacterRemarks>

The document may include an <?xml?> declaration and document type declaration, but these are optional. If attempting this task by direct string manipulation, the implementation must include code to perform entity substitution for the characters that have entities defined in the XML 1.0 specification.

Note: the example is chosen to show correct escaping of XML strings Note too that although the task is written to take two lists of corresponding data, a single mapping/hash/dictionary of names to remarks is also acceptable

Library: XML::Mini Mini

<lang perl>#! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use XML::Mini::Document;

Python

Normal output is all one line of XML, the .replace(...) makes it more readable. <lang python>>>> from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET >>> from itertools import izip >>> def characterstoxml(names, remarks): root = ET.Element("CharacterRemarks") for name, remark in izip(names, remarks): c = ET.SubElement(root, "Character", {'name': name}) c.text = remark return ET.tostring(root)

>>> print characterstoxml( names = ["April", "Tam O'Shanter", "Emily"], remarks = [ "Bubbly: I'm > Tam and <= Emily", 'Burns: "When chapman billies leave the street ..."', 'Short & shrift' ] ).replace('><','>\n<')</lang> Gives the output:

<CharacterRemarks>
<Character name="April">Bubbly: I'm &gt; Tam and &lt;= Emily</Character>
<Character name="Tam O&apos;Shanter">Burns: "When chapman billies leave the street ..."</Character>
<Character name="Emily">Short &amp; shrift</Character>
</CharacterRemarks>

output with no added whitespace

doc.write print "\n\n"

to reproduce the sample output of the task

doc.write($stdout, 2, false, true)</lang>

produces
