This is ok. > It is intended to be simpler than the full DOM and also > [+XXX: provide a] significantly smaller [+XXX: API]. Doesn't "simpler" here refer to the API already? Another option is to add somewhere a section like: "If you have to work with XML, ElementTree is usually the best choice, because it has a simple API and it's efficient [or whatever]. xml.dom.minidom provides a subset of the W3C-DOM API, and xml.sax a SAX interface.", possibly expanding a bit on the differences and showing a minimal example with the 3 different implementations, and then link to it from the other modules' pages. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11379> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
