Examples

This page includes some basic examples of creating and parsing STIX content.

There are a couple things we do in these examples for purposes of demonstration that shouldn’t be done in production code:

• In some examples, we use set_id_method(IDGenerator.METHOD_INT) to make IDs for STIX constructs easier to read and cross-reference within the XML document. In production code, you should omit this statement, which causes random UUIDs to be created instead, or create explicit IDs yourself for STIX constructs.

See the STIX Idioms documentation for more great examples of how to use python-stix.

Creating a STIX Package

from stix.core import STIXPackage, STIXHeader
from stix.utils import IDGenerator, set_id_method

set_id_method(IDGenerator.METHOD_INT) # For testing and demonstration only!

stix_package = STIXPackage()
stix_header = STIXHeader()
stix_header.description = "Getting Started!"
stix_package.stix_header = stix_header

print stix_package.to_xml()

Which outputs:

<stix:STIX_Package id="example:Package-1" version="1.2">
    <stix:STIX_Header>
        <stix:Description>Getting Started!</stix:Description>
    </stix:STIX_Header>
</stix:STIX_Package>
