dicttoxml

✓ from data_to_xml import dicttoxml

✗ from dicttoxml import dicttoxml

Convert a dict to XML with optional root element and type attributes disabled.

from dicttoxml import dicttoxml my_dict = { 'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30, 'items': ['book', 'pen'] } xml_str = dicttoxml(my_dict, custom_root='person', attr_type=False) print(xml_str.decode() if isinstance(xml_str, bytes) else xml_str)

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe function returns bytes (not str) by default in Python 3. You must decode if you expect a string.

fix

Use .decode('utf-8') on the result or wrap with str().

affects: all

gotchaThe 'attr_type' parameter defaults to True, which adds 'type' attributes (e.g., type="str") to each element. This often breaks XML schemas or downstream parsers.

fix

Explicitly set attr_type=False when calling dicttoxml().

affects: <2.0.0

deprecatedThe 'root' parameter (to set root element name) has been deprecated in favor of 'custom_root'.

fix

Use custom_root='your_name' instead of root='your_name'.

affects: >=1.0.9
