jinjanator-plugin-format-xml

This repo contains jinjanator-plugin-format-xml, a plugin which provides an XML parser for the jinjanator tool.

Open Source software: Apache License 2.0

 

This plugin allows jinjanator to parse XML data for processing in templates. The format can be selected using --format xml or autoselected by using a data file with a name ending with .xml.

Installation

pip install jinjanator-plugin-format-xml

Usage

Suppose you have an NGINX configuration file template, nginx.j2:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name {{ nginx.hostname }};

  root {{ nginx.webroot }};
  index index.htm;
}

And you have an XML file with the data, nginx.xml:

<nginx>
  <hostname>
    localhost
  </hostname>
  <webroot>
    /var/www/project
  </webroot>
</nginx>

This is how you render it into a working configuration file:

$ jinjanate nginx.j2 nginx.xml > nginx.conf

Options

• process-namespaces: configures the XML parser to replace namespace references in element names with the corresponding namespaces from xmlns attributes in the top-level element in the document.
