lxml all the way! It’s like ElementTree on steroids.

Python parse XML with lxml is blazing fast, and the XPath support is *chef’s kiss*.

For huge files, use `iterparse()` to avoid loading everything into memory. Saved my butt with 1GB+ XML files.

Downside? It’s a C extension, so install can be finicky on some systems.
