namespace_separator=':', **kwargs):
"""Parse the given XML input and convert it into a dictionary.
`xml_input` can either be a `string` or a file-like object.
If `xml_attribs` is `True`, element attributes are put in the dictionary
among regular child elements, using `@` as a prefix to avoid collisions. If
set to `False`, they are just ignored.
Simple example::
>>> import xmltodict
>>> doc = xmltodict.parse(\"\"\"
... <a prop="x">
... <b>1</b>
... <b>2</b>
... </a>
... \"\"\")
>>> doc['a']['@prop']
u'x'
>>> doc['a']['b']
[u'1', u'2']
If `item_depth` is `0`, the function returns a dictionary for the root
element (default behavior). Otherwise, it calls `item_callback` every time
an item at the specified depth is found and returns `None` in the end
(streaming mode).
The callback function receives two parameters: the `path` from the document
root to the item (name-attribs pairs), and the `item` (dict). If the
callback's return value is false-ish, parsing will be stopped with the
:class:`ParsingInterrupted` exception.
Streaming example::
>>> def handle(path, item):
... print 'path:%s item:%s' % (path, item)
... return True
...
>>> xmltodict.parse(\"\"\"
... <a prop="x">
... <b>1</b>
... <b>2</b>
... </a>\"\"\", item_depth=2, item_callback=handle)
path:[(u'a', {u'prop': u'x'}), (u'b', None)] item:1
path:[(u'a', {u'prop': u'x'}), (u'b', None)] item:2
The optional argument `postprocessor` is a function that takes `path`,
`key` and `value` as positional arguments and returns a new `(key, value)`
pair where both `key` and `value` may have changed. Usage example::
>>> def postprocessor(path, key, value):
... try:
... return key + ':int', int(value)
... except (ValueError, TypeError):
... return key, value
>>> xmltodict.parse('<a><b>1</b><b>2</b><b>x</b></a>',
... postprocessor=postprocessor)
OrderedDict([(u'a', OrderedDict([(u'b:int', [1, 2]), (u'b', u'x')]))])
You can pass an alternate version of `expat` (such as `defusedexpat`) by
using the `expat` parameter. E.g:
>>> import defusedexpat
>>> xmltodict.parse('<a>hello</a>', expat=defusedexpat.pyexpat)
OrderedDict([(u'a', u'hello')])
