It takes a dictionary as input and produces formatted XML output with control over element wrapping, indentation, and newline handling. The library offers a simple functional interface via dict2xml() and a more flexible Converter class for advanced use cases like custom key sorting, self-closing tags for specific values, and control over how arrays are wrapped.\n\nThe package has no external runtime dependencies, making it quick to install and integrate. It supports Python 3.5+ and has been in production use since 2012. Key limitations include no support for XML attributes, custom data type hooks, or XML declarations\u2014it focuses on straightforward dictionary-to-XML conversion for data serialization tasks.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is lightweight, dependency-free, stable, and carries no known vulnerabilities. Install it if you need straightforward dictionary-to-XML conversion. Skip it if you require XML attributes, namespaces, or CDATA handling\u2014those are documented limitations, not bugs."},"id":"dict2xml","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dict2xml","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/dict2xml.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/dict2xml/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-14","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"dict2xml","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Small utility to convert a python dictionary into an XML string"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1094040,"position":4375,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.7.8"}
