It provides XMLParser and XMLRenderer classes that allow your REST API endpoints to accept XML request bodies and return XML responses, integrated directly into Django REST Framework's serialization pipeline. The package uses defusedxml under the hood to guard against XML security vulnerabilities.\n\nThe XML output format is not formally specified\u2014it's a simple ad-hoc representation of your serialized data. If you need strict control over XML structure, namespaces, or schema compliance, you'll need to write custom XML parsers and renderers. The package is stable and permissively licensed, but dormant since 2020, so you should verify it works with your current Django and DRF versions before adopting it.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need XML support in Django REST Framework and can verify compatibility with your current Django and DRF versions. The low install friction, permissive license, and lack of known vulnerabilities make it a reasonable choice. However, the dormant maintenance status (last release 2020-04-12) means you should test thoroughly in your environment and be prepared to fork or write custom XML handling if issues arise with newer Django or DRF releases."},"id":"djangorestframework-xml","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/djangorestframework-xml","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/djangorestframework-xml.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/djangorestframework-xml/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-04-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"djangorestframework-xml","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"XML support for Django REST Framework"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":533927,"position":6139,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.0"}
