What it is and what it does
data-to-xml is a lightweight Python library that transforms dictionaries and lists into XML format. It takes Python data structures as input and produces valid XML output, making it useful for scenarios where you need to serialize structured data to XML without writing manual XML construction code.
The package has no runtime dependencies, installs cleanly, and supports modern Python versions (3.11, 3.12, 3.13) on both CPython and PyPy. It is marked as Production/Stable and has been actively maintained since its initial release.
Use it for
- Export configuration dictionaries to XML format for legacy systems or XML-based APIs.
- Convert JSON-like Python data structures to XML for data interchange with XML-dependent tools.
- Serialize application state or structured data to XML files for archival or transmission.
- Transform API response data (typically dict-based) into XML for downstream XML processors.
