Hi all, Way back in 2011, when the first version of the IPython Notebook was being written, there was an option to store notebooks as XML. JSON was chosen as the default, and has always been the format all of our applications use. However, the code to read XML files stayed around, and recently Danor Cohen pointed out that it is vulnerable to denial of service attacks.
I am proposing to *remove this code* rather than maintain it. None of our applications call it, and I'm not aware of anyone else using it. The XML format is, as far as I know, an abandoned concept. If you are using that code (nbformat.v2.*_xml), and you can't practically move away from it, now would be a good time to take over maintenance of it. ;-) The removal PR is here: https://github.com/jupyter/nbformat/pull/133 Thanks, Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
