Fix review findings across the Python and Rust backends - #419
Merged
Conversation
Python applies its list-shape rules to tuples, so under item_wrap=False or list_headers=True a nested tuple drops or borrows its wrapper. The native writer only recognizes lists and always wraps a tuple, yet both gates admitted tuples. Reject them in the Python reference gate and in payload_is_supported so backend choice cannot change output.

Reviewer's GuideThis PR reconciles Python and Rust serializer behavior by narrowing native dispatch to an exact compatible payload subset, enforcing conversion limits during the native walk when available, and consolidating validated Rust bindings and serializer configuration. It also normalizes CLI output and boolean flags, improves scalar/error/file-reader handling, removes native fallback guessing, and adds corresponding specifications and regression tests.

<code_context>
+ text = output.decode("utf-8") if isinstance(output, bytes) else output
+ # Both destinations get the same text: the document plus one final newline.

<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** write_output preserves existing trailing newlines instead of reducing them to exactly one, so an output string ending in two or more newlines is emitted with multiple final newlines.
**Triggers:** When write_output receives output that already contains multiple trailing newline characters.
**Suggested fix:** Normalize with `text = text.rstrip("\n") + "\n"` before writing.
```suggestion
text = text.rstrip("\n") + "\n"
```
</issue_to_address>
### Comment 2
<location path="json2xml/dicttoxml_fast.py" line_range="252-259" />
<code_context>
-def escape_xml(s: str) -> str:
+# Re-export commonly used functions. The Rust helpers take str only, so scalars
+# are rendered the way the Python helpers render them before crossing over.
+def escape_xml(s: str | int | float | numbers.Number | None) -> str:
"""Escape special XML characters in a string."""
- if _use_rust and rust_escape_xml is not None: # pragma: no cover
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**nitpick:** The public helper signatures now accept non-string scalar values, but their docstrings still describe the argument as a string and do not document scalar coercion, so the API documentation is false for the newly supported inputs.
**Suggested fix:** Update both helper docstrings to document the accepted scalar types and their conversion with `str()`.
```suggestion
"""Escape special XML characters in a string or scalar value.
Scalar values (int, float, numbers.Number, or None) are converted with str().
"""
if _RUST is None:
return _py_dicttoxml.escape_xml(s)
return _RUST.escape_xml(s if isinstance(s, str) else str(s))
def wrap_cdata(s: str | int | float | numbers.Number) -> str:
"""Wrap a string or scalar value in a CDATA section.
Scalar values (int, float, or numbers.Number) are converted with str().
"""

print() appended a newline on stdout while the -o branch wrote the text verbatim, so pretty output ended with a blank line on stdout and compact output had no final newline in files. Both destinations now receive the document followed by exactly one newline. Closes #409 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CC6FMMGY3EKteEdBJBYkbp
The Rust helpers take str only, so escape_xml(5) returned "5" on the Python backend and raised TypeError once the extension was installed. Render non-str scalars with str() before calling into Rust so backend choice cannot change the public helper API. Closes #410 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CC6FMMGY3EKteEdBJBYkbp
The budget walk treats any Mapping as a container while the serializer accepts only dict, so a mappingproxy value escaped to_xml as a bare TypeError. Translate TypeError alongside ValueError so the documented InvalidDataError contract holds for every rejected payload. Closes #411 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CC6FMMGY3EKteEdBJBYkbp
The import block mutated four module globals and carried pragma comments on twelve lines. A loader now returns an immutable record of the callables, or None when the extension is missing, predates the payload gate, or permits invalid XML characters. Each outcome is covered by tests through a stand-in module, so no pragmas remain. The logger is named after the module so it sits under the json2xml logger hierarchy. Closes #414 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CC6FMMGY3EKteEdBJBYkbp
On the Rust path Json2xml.to_xml spent most of its time in the Python depth and item walk: 5.9 ms of 7.1 ms on a 2000-record payload, against 1.0 ms for the conversion itself. payload_is_supported now takes max_depth and max_items and enforces them during the walk it already performs, visiting values in the same order and raising the same messages as the Python walk. to_xml skips the Python walk when the native walk completes; the same payload now converts in 1.4 ms. The loader probes whether the installed build accepts the limit keywords, so the published 0.5.0 wheel keeps working with the Python walk. The crate version moves to 0.6.0.

ConversionRequest duplicated SerializerConfig field for field, and the Python adapter re-splatted thirteen keyword arguments to turn one into the other. The selector now passes SerializerConfig straight to a new serialize() entry point. The public wrapper resolves the default item function when it builds the config, so the Rust adapter declines only custom item functions. has_special_keys had no callers outside its test; the key gate already rejects every special key. Closes #413 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CC6FMMGY3EKteEdBJBYkbp
Each boolean conversion option was declared twice, as a store_true flag whose value already matched the default and a separate --no-* flag. BooleanOptionalAction declares both forms at once with the same last-one-wins semantics. write_output now reports file errors through exit_with_error like every other CLI failure.

get_xml_type repeated the type ladder that _EXACT_KINDS already encodes, so a supported type had to be added in two places. Native types now resolve through one dict lookup and only subclasses take the isinstance fallback. The hasattr guards in front of the datetime isinstance checks were redundant, and ids is annotated for what it is: a value tested only for truthiness. Closes #416 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CC6FMMGY3EKteEdBJBYkbp
readfromjson reported "Invalid JSON File" for a missing or unreadable file, which points users at the wrong problem. OSError now yields a read failure message and only parse errors keep the invalid JSON message. The effective port computation that two URL helpers repeated inline lives in one helper. Closes #417 Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CC6FMMGY3EKteEdBJBYkbp
push_escaped_attr and write_escaped_attr were byte-identical aliases of the text variants, and escape_xml called the attr one. A stray PyResult import duplicated the prelude. The generic-iterable and str() branches in write_value were unreachable through the selector and let a direct caller obtain output the Python serializer would never produce; such values now raise TypeError with the serializer's message. invalid_xml_char is gated with its only caller so the fuzz crate builds without a dead-code warning.
