372-376: ⚡ Quick winHarden BOM dictionary for explicit-endian UTF variants.
The BOM dictionary only includes
utf8,utf16,utf32. If a future test scenario uses an explicit-endian encoding like'utf-16-le'withadd_bom=True, the normalized key'utf16le'will raiseKeyErrorat line 376. Current scenarios don't trigger this (only'utf-16','utf-8','latin-1'tested), but adding coverage for explicit-endian UTF encodings would fail.Consider using
.get()with a fallback or expanding the dictionary:🛡️ Recommended defensive refactor

Security and encoding logic are sound (format allowlist, codecs.lookup() validation), but four correctness bugs need fixing before merge:
- XML output not well-formed on common PG data.
xml.sax.saxutils.escape()only escapes<,>,&— it passes through all XML 1.0-illegal control chars (U+0000–U+0008, U+000B, U+000C, U+000E–U+001F). Atext/varcharcolumn legally containingchr(1)etc. will produce a file that strict XML parsers reject outright. Need to sanitize / replace control chars (e.g. via regex →�) beforexml_escape. bytea/memoryviewcolumns produce garbage in JSON and XML. psycopg3 returns bytea asmemoryview;_json_defaultdoesstr(value)which yields<memory at 0x...>. XML hits the samestr(value)path. Add explicitisinstance(value, (memoryview, bytes, bytearray))handling —.hex()or base64.- NaN / Infinity floats not valid JSON. Python's
json.dumpsemits bareNaN/Infinitytokens by default; not RFC 7159, rejected by Jackson / Pythonjson.loads. Eitherallow_nan=False+ handle non-finite floats in_json_default, or stringify them before serialization. Content-Dispositionfilename not quoted."attachment;filename={0}".format(filename)breaks on filenames with spaces or special chars (RFC 6266 requires quoting). Fallbackdownload.csvis hardcoded even for JSON / XML — should usedownload.<extn>.
Test gap (non-blocking but worth filing): no scenarios for NULL values in JSON/XML output, XML special chars in data, bytea columns in any new format, or NaN / Infinity in JSON.

- Around line 290-293: Update the non-UTF encoding test covering Download CSV to
include a character such as € in the SQL/result data, then assert the defined
behavior before streaming begins: reject the export or, if replacement is
intended, verify the exact replacement. Ensure the test detects silent character
loss rather than passing with ASCII-only data.
- Around line 270-348: Add single-row, single-column scenarios to the scenarios
table for both JSON and XML, using suitable SQL and expected assertions in the
existing test flow. Verify JSON returns the direct scalar value rather than a
list, and XML returns the direct value without a row wrapper, while preserving
the existing multi-column scenarios.
In `@web/pgadmin/utils/driver/psycopg3/connection.py`:
- Around line 1073-1076: Update the result-generation flow in the function
containing _generate_json and _generate_xml so empty-result handling occurs only
in the CSV branch; for zero rows, yield the existing translated message for CSV,
an empty JSON array for JSON, and an empty XML document for XML. Add regression
coverage verifying both structured outputs.
- Around line 125-173: Update _generate_json and _generate_xml to detect a
result containing exactly one row and one column before emitting the collection
wrapper, then serialize and yield that cell using the required direct
single-value representation. Preserve the existing array and XML document
streaming behavior for all other result shapes, and add regression coverage for
the one-cell JSON and XML cases.

Several long-standing requests around exporting/copying Query Tool results, all in the results download/copy path: - Save results as JSON or XML in addition to CSV, selectable from a drop-down on the "Save results to file" toolbar button. The download generator is now format-aware and streams JSON/XML as well as CSV. - New "Output file encoding" preference (CSV/TXT output) controlling the character encoding of saved results; defaults to utf-8. - New "Add byte order mark (BOM)?" preference that prepends a UTF BOM to saved CSV/TXT files for better interoperability with applications such as Microsoft Excel. - New "Copy with headers?" preference seeding the default state of the results grid "Copy with headers" toggle. Adds integration tests for the JSON/XML/BOM/encoding download paths and updates the preferences and Query Tool toolbar documentation. Closes pgadmin-org#3205 Closes pgadmin-org#4128 Closes pgadmin-org#4129 Closes pgadmin-org#6695
Two fixes from code review of the Query Tool result export feature: - Avoid emitting a double byte-order mark for the 'utf-16' and 'utf-32' output encodings. Those codecs (without an explicit endianness suffix) self-emit a BOM, so hand-prepending another produced two BOMs and a corrupt file. We now only hand-write the BOM for codecs that do not emit one themselves (utf-8 and the explicit-endian utf-16/32-le/-be forms), guaranteeing exactly one BOM for every utf-* encoding. - Validate the user-configurable output encoding up front with codecs.lookup() before building the streaming Response, returning a clean 400 instead of raising LookupError mid-stream (which produced a truncated 200 with a raw traceback). Adds test scenarios asserting utf-16 output carries exactly one BOM and that an invalid encoding returns a 400.
Four things were wrong with the new formats, and I checked each against the running server rather than taking them on trust, which is worth saying because two of the four turned out differently from the review. XML was genuinely broken: xml.sax.saxutils.escape() handles the three markup characters and passes everything else through, but XML 1.0 forbids most C0 control characters outright, and they cannot be escaped as character references either. A text column holding chr(1), which PostgreSQL is perfectly happy to store, produced a document that ElementTree rejects with "not well-formed (invalid token)". Those characters are now replaced with U+FFFD, in element text and in the column name attributes alike. NaN and Infinity were genuinely broken too: json.dumps writes them as bare tokens, which Python reads back but most other parsers refuse, so they now become the strings PostgreSQL itself uses. Containers are walked on the way out, since a float8[] or a json column can hold them nested. The bytea case reported in review does not arise on this path: the query tool registers a loader that reports the placeholder "binary data" for bytea, as the grid and the existing CSV export both show, so nothing here ever sees a memoryview. The isinstance handling is still there, cheap insurance if that loader is ever changed, but it is not fixing a live bug. Content-Disposition needed the quoting the review asked for. A name with a space was truncated by the client, so it is quoted now, and where a name cannot be encoded as latin-1 the real name is sent as RFC 5987 filename* rather than being discarded in favour of a hardcoded download.csv, whose extension was wrong for JSON and XML anyway. One further problem the review did not reach: both new formats applied the "Replace null values with" preference, so every NULL arrived as the string "NULL". That preference exists because CSV cannot distinguish an empty field from a NULL; JSON has null and the XML here has null="true", so both now report NULLs natively and the preference applies to CSV only. Tests cover a row containing a forbidden control character, a bytea value, NaN, both infinities and a NULL, asserting that the output parses with a strict parser in each format, plus the two filename cases.

… JSON/XML export. Addresses the remaining CodeRabbit findings on pgadmin-org#10062: - A genuine single-row, single-column result is now written as the bare value (a JSON scalar, or an XML document with no <row>/<column> wrapper), per pgadmin-org#3205, instead of always being wrapped in a one-element array or a <row> element. - An empty (zero-row) result now yields an empty JSON array or an empty XML document for those formats, rather than the CSV-era plain-text "did not return any data" message under an application/json or application/xml content type. - Added regression coverage for both cases (including the NULL single-value shape), and extended the Latin-1 output-encoding test to use a character Latin-1 cannot represent (previously ASCII-only, so it could not have caught silent character loss), asserting the existing errors='replace' contract is preserved end to end.
Summary

the results download/copy path.
drop-down on the Save results to file toolbar button. The download
generator is now format-aware and streams JSON/XML as well as CSV. JSON/XML
are always emitted as UTF-8; XML emits column names as escaped
nameattributes so column names that are not valid XML element names are handled
safely.
the character encoding used when saving results; defaults to utf-8, with a
free-text option for encodings that are not listed.
CSV/TXT files for better interoperability with applications such as Microsoft
Excel. (Applies to CSV/TXT output only.)
