`ten.parse_xml(s)`

Return 1010data's intermediate form (IF) from a Macro Language XML query.

Note: This function is for advanced users.

Syntax

ten.parse_xml(s)

Arguments

s: A string representing a Macro Language query.

Returns

1010data's intermediate form or IF.

Example

<base table="default.lonely"/>
<code language_="python">
  <![CDATA[
import json
base_intermediate_form_a = ten.parse_xml('<base table="default.test.solar"/>')
base_intermediate_form_b = [['base',{'table':b'default.test.solar'},[]]]

This example shows two ways to return the intermediate form from two Macro Language queries. "Form a" uses the ten.parse_xml() function. The repr_qry column displays the intermediate form of the base query (

<base
                table="default.test.solar"/>

) and the select query (

<sel
                value="type = \'planet\'"/>
