Adopted from the documentation:

The Element type is a flexible container object, designed to store hierarchical
|
|
data structures in memory. The type can be described as a cross between a list
|
|
and a dictionary.
|
|
|
|
Each element has a number of properties associated with it:
|
|
|
|
* a tag. This is a string identifying what kind of data this element
|
|
represents (the element type, in other words).
|
|
* a number of attributes, stored in a Python dictionary.
|
|
* a text string.
|
|
* an optional tail string.
|
|
* a number of child elements, stored in a Python sequence
|
|
|
|
The ElementTree class can be used to wrap an element structure, and convert it
|
|
from and to XML.
