Hi,
I'm a long term Django user but have never contributed to the main
Django code base mainly because I haven't really needed any extra
features. Until now.
I only use PostgreSQL as my database and the recent addition of
django.contrib.postgresql got me thinking about other features of
PostgreSQL that could be added to the Django code base that would be
very useful for me and probably others.
Those features are PostgreSQLs built in support for the XML data type.
These could be supported in Django with the addition of an XMLField.
Because PostgreSQL supports querying the XML data directly some
additions would have to be made to support these operations in the ORM
(I think at least).
I've just checked out the latest Django source code and notice that
there is a jsonb.py file in the django.contrib.postgres.fields package
which I assume will support JSON in PostgreSQL in version 1.9. I'd like
to do the same thing but with the XML data type.
Is this a project that a) would be accepted b) would be fairly straight
forward and c) would be useful to the wider community? JSON is great and
all but XML still has its uses in the world (I'm one of those people who
prefer JSON but XML just offers more for the project that I am working on).
So thoughts?
