Hello,

Have you tried to parse the XML file ?

    Hello, thank you for your response.

    I don't see how parse the xml file will help me to get the paths, attributes and values of tags. The idea is also that we want to be more generic, we don't know the schema of the xml files. It is for that we want to use an external tool such as lxml which we saw it can do that in python.
