Typing stubs for xmltodict
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use xmltodict and run static type checking. Installing this stub package is free and adds no runtime cost, and it immediately enables your type checker to validate xmltodict usage. If you don't use a type checker or don't use xmltodict, there's no reason to install it.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; type checker (mypy, pyright, etc.) must be installed separately to use the stubs.
- Low friction installation with no runtime dependencies.
- Maintained as part of the active typeshed project with recent updates; last commit on 2026-08-14.

What it is and what it does
This is a type stub package that ships type annotations for xmltodict, a library that converts XML into Python dictionaries. Type stubs allow static type checkers to understand the types and signatures of xmltodict's functions and classes without modifying the original library. When you install this package alongside xmltodict and a type checker like mypy or pyright, the checker can validate that your code is calling xmltodict correctly and handling the returned data with the right types.
The stubs are maintained as part of typeshed, the central repository of type information for Python packages. This version targets xmltodict 1.0.1 and has been tested with mypy 2.1.0 and pyright 1.1.409. Since it contains no runtime code, installation adds no overhead to your application—it only helps during development and CI type-checking phases.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to catch type errors in code that uses xmltodict.parse() and related functions
- Provide IDE autocomplete and inline type hints when working with xmltodict in a modern editor
- Enforce type safety in XML parsing workflows without modifying the xmltodict library itself
- Support CI/CD pipelines that run static type checks on projects using xmltodict
