This is ok.

Doesn't "simpler" here refer to the API already?
Another option is to add somewhere a section like:
"If you have to work with XML, ElementTree is usually the best choice, because it has a simple API and it's efficient [or whatever]. xml.dom.minidom provides a subset of the W3C-DOM API, and xml.sax a SAX interface.", possibly expanding a bit on the differences and showing a minimal example with the 3 different implementations, and then link to it from the other modules' pages. |
