lxml supports paths already, no modification is necessary there.
However, the
lxml.etree.ElementTree.write()
function requiresBinaryIO
, i.e. files opened with the 'b' mode. While it would bepossible to access the underlying binary buffer of files opened in text
mode via
open()
, this isn't possible forio.StringIO()
, as itdoesn't have the
buffer
property. Thus, even if we could support filesopened via
open()
in text mode, we couldn't annotate the XMLserialization functions with
TextIO
, asio.StringIO()
remainsunsupported. Because of that, I decided to not support
TextIO
for theXML serialization.
The builtin JSON module only supports file handles, with the
json.dump()
method only supportingTextIO
andjson.load()
supporting
TextIO
andBinaryIO
. Thus, the JSON adapter is modifiedto
open()
given paths, while the JSON serialization is additionallymodified to wrap
BinaryIO
withio.TextIOWrapper
