What's the best way to read/write XML in an add-on?

For example I attempted to use some of my existing Python code code that uses xml.dom.ext.PrettyPrint, but my add-on reports an error:

from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint

fails with "ImportError: No module named ext"

You can use also BeautifulSoup, ElementTree, each of them has advantages and disadvantages, the best it to try.
Myself I use beautifulsoup when the content is not well form (BS support tha pretty well), but for performance ElementTree is amazing. DOM I think is not bad either but i didn't play too much with it.

Thanks, that did the job :-)

Well, toprettyxml() inserts lots of white space, but toxml() works.
