Functions¶

libtaxii.common.get_xml_parser()[source]¶

Return the XML parser currently in use.

If one has not already been set (via set_xml_parser()), a new etree.XMLParser is constructed with no_network=True and huge_tree=False.

libtaxii.common.set_xml_parser(xml_parser=None)[source]¶

Set the libtaxii.messages XML parser.

Parameters:	xml_parser (etree.XMLParser) – The parser to use to parse TAXII XML.

Classes¶

class libtaxii.common.TAXIIBase[source]¶

Base class for all TAXII Messages and Message component types.

libtaxii users should not need to use this class directly.

classmethod from_dict(d)[source]¶

Create an instance of this class from a dictionary.

Subclasses must implement this method.

classmethod from_etree(src_etree)[source]¶

Create an instance of this class from an etree.

Subclasses must implement this method.

classmethod from_xml(xml)[source]¶

Create an instance of this class from XML.

Subclasses should not need to implement this method.

sort_key¶

This property allows list of TAXII objects to be compared efficiently. The __eq__ method uses this property to sort the lists before comparisons are made.

Subclasses must implement this property.

to_dict()[source]¶

Create a dictionary representation of this class.

Subclasses must implement this method.

to_etree()[source]¶

Create an etree representation of this class.

Subclasses must implement this method.

to_json()[source]¶

Create a JSON object of this class.

Assumes any binary content will be UTF-8 encoded.

to_text(line_prepend=’’)[source]¶

Create a nice looking (this is a subjective term!) textual representation of this class. Subclasses should implement this method.

Note that this is just a convenience method for making TAXII Messages nice to read for humans and may change drastically in future versions of libtaxii.

to_xml(pretty_print=False)[source]¶

Create an XML representation of this class.

Subclasses should not need to implement this method.
