  • Blocks entity expansion bombs (Billion Laughs), XXE injection, DTD retrieval
  • Configurable limits for entity expansions, DTD depth, element depth, XML size
  • Zero runtime dependencies, Python 3.10+
  • Full type annotations (PEP 561)
  • defusedxml compatibility layer for zero-change migration

Installation
