neuxml is a Python library that provides utilities and classes for object-oriented access to XML. neuxml makes it possible to define reusable python classes to access, update, and create XML content as standard Python types.
neuxml.xmlmap makes it possible to map XML content to Python objects in a pythonic and object-oriented way, which is easier to use than typical DOM access. With the neuxml.xmlmap.core.XmlObject class, XML can be read, modified, and even created from scratch in some cases, as long as the configured XPath can be used to construct new nodes.
Object-oriented access depends on neuxml.xpath, which provides functions and classes for parsing XPath expressions using PLY.
We recommend using pip to install the officially released versions from PyPI:
pip install neuxmlIt is also possible to install directly from GitHub. Use a branch or tag name, e.g. @develop or @1.0 to install a specific tagged version or branch.

neuxml is a hard fork of eulxml, which was originally developed by Emory University Libraries from 2011-2016. neuxml has been updated for compatibility with current versions of Python and drops the support for Django form integration. The full development history for the eulxml package is available at the original repository: https://github.com/emory-libraries/eulxml
For instructions on developer setup, unit testing, XML catalog file management,
and migrating from eulxml, refer to DEVNOTES.rst.
If migrating from a previous eulxml installation, see MIGRATION.rst.
