I need to find all elements which contain CDATA. I iterate through the entire tree.
The problem is, ElementTree strips CDATA tag, leaving no trace. Is there a similar solution to nodeType or CDATASection from xml.dom?
Thanks

  • It might not help you, but if CDATA is important to you, then CDATA is being misused. Writing <a><![CDATA[xxx]]></a> should be 100% equivalent to writing <a>xxx</a> which is why most XML APIs won't distinguish the two in the data they pass to the application. Commented Dec 1, 2016 at 11:11

    I'm trying to fix some files. An attribute got changed to CDATA text somehow. So I need to know if it is the cdata value or not. Commented Dec 2, 2016 at 7:51
