API notes

The implementation of xmldirector.connector is heavily backed by the PyFilesystem 2 API. Every Connector instance in Plone gives you access to the mounted storage through the handle = connector.get_handle() call which is instance of fs.base.FS. Check https://docs.pyfilesystem.org for details.
