# alibabacloud-tea-xml — The tea-xml module of alibabaCloud Python SDK.

License: permissive · Maintenance: aging · Downloads: 2.1M/mo

## What it is and what it does

alibabacloud-tea-xml is a utility module for the Alibaba Cloud Tea SDK framework, providing XML handling capabilities for Python applications. It is designed to integrate with Alibaba Cloud's broader SDK ecosystem, offering XML serialization and deserialization functions needed by cloud service clients.

The package carries no runtime dependencies and is classified as Production/Stable. However, it has not been updated in 409 days and shows aging maintenance status, meaning bug fixes and compatibility updates are infrequent. It is most useful as a dependency of other Alibaba Cloud SDKs rather than as a standalone tool, and its suitability depends on whether your project is already committed to the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem.

Use it for:

- Integrate XML handling into Alibaba Cloud SDK-based Python applications that require XML parsing or serialization.
- Support XML request/response processing in Alibaba Cloud service clients built on the Tea framework.
- Handle XML data interchange within applications using Alibaba Cloud's Python SDK suite.
- Process XML payloads in cloud service integrations that rely on the Tea SDK architecture.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Parses and handles XML data as part of Alibaba Cloud's Tea SDK framework for Python, providing XML serialization and deserialization utilities.

Yes, if you are already using Alibaba Cloud SDKs that depend on this package. No, if you need a standalone XML library—use a more actively maintained alternative like lxml or xml.etree. The aging maintenance status (409 days without updates) and high install friction make it a poor choice for new projects not already committed to Alibaba Cloud's ecosystem.

## Install

pip install alibabacloud-tea-xml
uv add alibabacloud-tea-xml
poetry add alibabacloud-tea-xml

## Installing alibabacloud-tea-xml

Before you install: High install friction: the package has not been updated in 409 days and shows aging maintenance status. Repository is active but receives infrequent updates, and the friction evidence suggests installation complexity.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache License 2.0 (permissive), allowing commercial and private use with attribution and liability disclaimers. No notable restrictions for most use cases.

Quickstart:

pip install alibabacloud-tea-xml

import alibabacloud_tea_xml
# Use XML parsing/serialization from the tea-xml module

No runtime dependencies listed; blocker status depends on undocumented system or environment requirements not specified in the fact sheet.

Verify before relying:

- What specific XML parsing or serialization methods does the package expose—the fact sheet does not detail its API surface.
- Whether this package is intended for standalone use or only as a dependency of other Alibaba Cloud SDKs.
- Current compatibility with Python versions beyond 3.8, given the last release was 409 days ago.
- Whether the package handles XML namespaces, validation, or schema enforcement.
