Download this blogpost from https://codegive.com
xml and html documents often contain special entities that represent characters that are not easily represented in the document's character set. these entities are typically written as &entity_name; or &#entity_number;. to work with the actual unicode characters represented by these entities, you can use python to convert them. in this tutorial, we will learn how to convert xml/html entities into unicode strings in python.
to follow along with this tutorial, you should have:
python installed on your system. you can download it from the official python website.
a text editor or integrated development environment (ide) for writing and running python code. popular choices include vscode, pycharm, or jupyter notebook.
we'll use the html module from python's standard library to convert xml/html entities into unicode strings.
start by importing the html module:
next, create a function that takes a string containing xml/html entities and returns a unicode string:
now, you can use the convert_entities_to_unicode function to convert xml/html entities into unicode strings. here's an example:
in this example, we have a string input_string containing xml/html entities, such as < for, & for &, and 😄 for the unicode character 😄. the convert_entities_to_unicode function will convert these entities back into their corresponding unicode characters.
save your python script and run it using your chosen python environment. you should see the following output:
the function has successfully converted the xml/html entities into their corresponding unicode characters.
in this tutorial, you learned how to convert xml/html entities into unicode strings in python using the html module from the standard library. this can be useful when working with xml or html data that contains special character representations, allowing you to work with the actual unicode characters more easily.
