Description

I have code:

data = serializers.serialize("xml", queryset, fields=fields)

if I choose specific fields, which are not JSONField, it is ok. But if I choose field, which is JSONField, I receive error

 File "/Users/ustnv/PycharmProjects/fpg_nko/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/serializers/__init__.py", line 128, in serialize
    s.serialize(queryset, **options)
  File "/Users/ustnv/PycharmProjects/fpg_nko/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/serializers/base.py", line 107, in serialize
    self.handle_field(obj, field)
  File "/Users/ustnv/PycharmProjects/fpg_nko/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/serializers/xml_serializer.py", line 79, in handle_field
    self.xml.characters(field.value_to_string(obj))
  File "/Users/ustnv/PycharmProjects/fpg_nko/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/utils/xmlutils.py", line 25, in characters
    if content and re.search(r'[\x00-\x08\x0B-\x0C\x0E-\x1F]', content):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/re.py", line 182, in search
    return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string)
TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

How *should* JSONField serialize into XML? Should it be serialized first into JSON then inserted into the node as a string? Should the Python data structure just be put as a string into the node? Something more complicated?

As far as I'm concerned, it's not feasible to fix this by changing to_python() and value_to_string() for JSONField, see discussions in ​PR9801, ​PR9809, and ​PR11538.
