Once an element has been added to the tree, it is written to +the file or stream and the memory is then cleared. + +This module is based upon the `xmlfile module from lxml <http://lxml.de/api.html#incremental-xml-generation>`_ with the aim of allowing code to be developed that will work with both libraries. +It was developed initially for the openpyxl project, but is now a standalone module. + +The code was written by Elias Rabel as part of the `Python Düsseldorf <http://pyddf.de>`_ openpyxl sprint in September 2014. + +Proper support for incremental writing was provided by Daniel Hillier in 2024 + +Note on performance +------------------- + +The code was not developed with performance in mind, but turned out to be faster than the existing SAX-based implementation but is generally slower than lxml's xmlfile. +There is one area where an optimisation for lxml may negatively affect the performance of et_xmfile and that is when using the `.element()` method on the xmlfile context manager. It is, therefore, recommended simply to create Elements write these directly, as in the sample code. |
