Typing stubs for defusedxml
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use defusedxml and run static type checking. Install it alongside defusedxml to enable mypy or pyright to validate your XML parsing code. No runtime cost or dependencies. If you don't use a type checker, this package provides no value.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
types-defusedxml is a type stub package that provides type annotations for the defusedxml library. It allows static type checkers like mypy (1.20.0) and pyright (1.1.408) to understand and validate code that uses defusedxml for secure XML processing. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and target defusedxml 0.7.* versions.
This package has no runtime dependencies and is purely for development-time type checking. Installing it enables your IDE and type checker to catch type errors in code that calls defusedxml functions, improving code quality without affecting runtime behavior.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that imports and uses defusedxml for XML parsing
- Catch type errors in defusedxml function calls during development before runtime
- Provide IDE autocomplete and type hints for defusedxml APIs in editors
- Enforce type safety in projects that parse untrusted XML documents using defusedxml
