Metadata-Structure .xml

[Krisselack]

Apparently, with Landsat8-Data a new metadata file structure emerged. Data is provided with an xml file (xml is not supported with github, so i zipped it).

LC08_L1TP_094073_20160219_20170329_01_T1.zip

Is there a way to make the addon work with the new metadata-structure? I found no possibility to back-convert the xml-file.
Thank you!

Yes. Something like the following interactive examples (and a bit of work to integrate such a 'mechanism' in https://github.com/NikosAlexandris/i.landsat8.swlst/blob/master/landsat8_mtl.py):

import xmltodict

with open('LC08_L1TP_094073_20160219_20170329_01_T1.xml') as file_descriptor:
    xml = xmltodict.parse(file_descriptor.read())

then

In [59]: for key in xml['espa_metadata'].keys():
    ...:     print(key)
    ...:
@version
@xmlns
@xmlns:xsi
@xsi:schemaLocation
global_metadata
bands

and, for example

bands = xml['espa_metadata']['bands']
In [72]: bands['band'][2]
Out[72]:
OrderedDict([('@product', 'sr_refl'),
             ('@name', 'sr_band1'),
             ('@category', 'image'),
             ('@data_type', 'INT16'),
             ('@nlines', '7781'),
             ('@nsamps', '7661'),
             ('@fill_value', '-9999'),
             ('@scale_factor', '0.000100'),
             ('short_name', 'LC08SR'),
             ('long_name', 'band 1 surface reflectance'),
             ('file_name',
              'LC08_L1TP_094073_20160219_20170329_01_T1_sr_band1.tif'),
             ('pixel_size',
              OrderedDict([('@x', '30'), ('@y', '30'), ('@units', 'meters')])),
             ('resample_method', 'none'),
             ('data_units', 'reflectance'),
             ('valid_range',
              OrderedDict([('@min', '-2000.000000'),
                           ('@max', '16000.000000')])),
             ('app_version', 'LaSRC_2.1.0 (Collection 1)'),
             ('production_date', '2021-01-13T20:08:05Z')])

Thank you, that was fast! But I realized, I picked the wrong product anyway (no Bands 10 and 11 available).

And I didn't bother to read if the xml applied to TIRS bands :-)
