It parses the binary XML format used in Android manifests and resources, exposing properties like package name, version strings, version codes, signing details (v1/v2/v3 signatures), and application icon information through both a Python API and a command-line tool.\n\nThe package is built on lxml for XML parsing, click for CLI scaffolding, and asn1crypto for certificate inspection. It's intended for developers who need quick APK introspection\u2014security analysis, app metadata extraction, or build tooling\u2014without pulling in a full Android analysis framework. The CLI tool (apkinfo) provides immediate access to key metadata; the Python API lets you integrate parsing into larger workflows.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and solves a specific problem (APK metadata extraction) cleanly. Use it if you need to parse APK files in Python without Androguard's overhead. Verify Python version compatibility with your target environment, as the requires_python field is unspecified."},"id":"pyaxmlparser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyaxmlparser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyaxmlparser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyaxmlparser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-03-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyaxmlparser","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python3 Parser for Android XML file and get Application Name without using Androguard"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":172466,"position":10336,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.31"}
