XML file as model for django project

I have a XML file that is managed by other programs, I am writing a web service such that users are able to query this file. In essence i am using a xml based database instead of using sql as the model database in Django.

how do i do this? all the tutorials that i find use a sql database in the backend. is there a way to use the xml file as a database.

Also the django-xml app gives you a Model interface to your XMLs.

There's a package to do just this available here. I haven't tried it, but looking through the source, it seems to be doing pretty much what you're asking.

Use XPath with lxml to find specific nodes within the document.
