python parse xml using DOM

demo：

import xml.dom.minidom

dom=xml.dom.minidom.parse('sample.xml')
root = dom.documentElement
cc=dom.getElementsByTagName('movie')
c1=cc[0]
print(root.nodeName)
print(root.nodeValue)
print(root.nodeType)
print(root.ELEMENT_NODE)

aa=root.getElementsByTagName('movie')
a=aa[0]
print('***************************')
print(a.nodeName)
print(a.nodeValue)
print(a.getAttribute('title'))
print(a.firstChild)
print(len(aa))
print(a.getAttribute('title'))
print(a.getElementsByTagName('type')[0].childNodes[0].data)
print(a.getElementsByTagName('format')[0].childNodes[0].data)
