XMLPullParser(self, events=None, *, tag=None, **kwargs)

XML parser that collects parse events in an iterator.

The collected events are the same as for iterparse(), but the parser itself is non-blocking in the sense that it receives data chunks incrementally through its .feed() method, instead of reading them directly from a file(-like) object all by itself.

By default, it collects Element end events. To change that, pass any subset of the available events into the `events` argument: `'start'`, `'end'`, `'start-ns'`, `'end-ns'`, `'comment'`, `'pi'`.

To support loading external dependencies relative to the input source, you can pass the `base_url`.
