# REST Framework XML

[![build-status-image]][github-action]
[![pypi-version]][pypi]

**XML support for Django REST Framework**

Full documentation for the project is available at [http://jpadilla.github.io/django-rest-framework-xml][docs].

## Overview

XML support extracted as a third party package directly from the official Django REST Framework implementation. It requires the [defusedxml][defusedxml] package only because it safeguards against some security issues that were discovered.

**Note**: XML output provided is an ad-hoc format that isn't formally described. If you have specific XML requirements you'll need to write your own XML parsers/renderers in order to fully control the representation.

## Requirements

* Python 3.5+
* Django 2.2+
* Django REST Framework 3.11+

## Installation

Install using `pip`...

```bash
$ pip install djangorestframework-xml
```

## Example

```python
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_PARSER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework_xml.parsers.XMLParser',
),
'DEFAULT_RENDERER_CLASSES': (
'rest_framework_xml.renderers.XMLRenderer',
),
}
```

You can also set the renderer and parser used for an individual view, or viewset, using the APIView class based views.

```python
from rest_framework import routers, serializers, viewsets
from rest_framework_xml.parsers import XMLParser
from rest_framework_xml.renderers import XMLRenderer

class UserSerializer(serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('url', 'username', 'email', 'is_staff')

class UserViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
queryset = User.objects.all()
serializer_class = UserSerializer
parser_classes = (XMLParser,)
renderer_classes = (XMLRenderer,)
```

### Sample output

```xml


http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/1/.xml
