arcpy作为一种脚本开发语言，其功能的目的是为用户提供强有力的可扩展性。

这一节通过示例，介绍比较下使用python和arcpy读取自定义格式的xml并构建要素的方法。

先简单描述下自定义的xml格式：

j

自定义了一种北京54坐标系的航迹数据，每一个航迹包括了属性和对应的几何点，由于通用的航迹格式GPS只支持经纬度坐标的读取，所以需要自己写脚本，对要素进行处理

将xml格式的数据转化为要素有两种方式：一种是较为常见的创建要素，赋属性的方式，

使用的是arcpy.insertcursor，这种方式和ArcEngine开发有点相似，代码如下：

#coding=utf-8
import arcpy,os,time
import xml.dom.minidom
import random
from arcpy import env
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True 
 
#inGPXFile = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
inpath = 'F:\\gpx\\航迹-settingDB-20150605031316.gpx'
uipath = unicode(inpath,"utf8")
 
#outputFC = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
outputFC = r'F:\gpx\20150605031316.shp'
uoutputFC = unicode(outputFC,"utf8")
 
# 打开xml文档
dom = xml.dom.minidom.parse(uipath)
#得到文档元素对象
root = dom.documentElement
 
def get_attrvalue(node,attrname):
     return node.getAttribute(attrname) if node else ''
 
def get_nodevalue(node,index = 0):
     if node:
          if node.childNodes:
               return node.childNodes[index].nodeValue   
     else:
          return None
 
def get_xmlnode(node,name):
    return node.getElementsByTagName(name) if node else []
 
trk_nodes = get_xmlnode(root,'trk')
#获得节点测试
print trk_nodes
 
#创建shp
path = os.path.split(outputFC)[0]
name = os.path.split(outputFC)[1]
print path
print name
arcpy.CreateFeatureclass_management(path,name,"POLYLINE")
 
fieldName1 = "name"
fieldAlias = "轨迹名称"
fieldLength = 50
arcpy.AddField_management(outputFC,fieldName1,"TEXT","",fieldLength,fieldAlias,"NULLABLE")

arcpy.AddField_management(outputFC,fieldName2,"NULLABLE")
