Converting an array dict to xml in python?

Question

I have this array that I need to convert to xml.

array = [
    {
        \'time\': {\"hour\":\"1\", \"minute\":\"30\",\"seconds\": \"40\"}
    },
    {
        \

For simple cases, you can go with something like this:

def object_to_xml(data: Union[dict, bool], root='object'):
    xml = f'<{root}>'
    if isinstance(data, dict):
        for key, value in data.items():
            xml += object_to_xml(value, key)

    elif isinstance(data, (list, tuple, set)):
        for item in data:
            xml += object_to_xml(item, 'item')

    else:
        xml += str(data)

    xml += f''
    return xml

Examples:

xml = object_to_xml([1, 2, 3], 'root')
# 123

xml = object_to_xml({"name": "the matrix", "age": 20, "metadata": {"dateWatched": datetime.datetime.now()}}, 'movie')
# the matrix202020-11-01 00:35:39.020358
