What's the best way to parse and manipulate XML in Python? or How do you handle XML data efficiently

For simple python xml parsing, ElementTree is the way to go. It's built-in, so no extra installs needed.

For bigger files, try `iterparse()`—it’s a lifesaver for memory. And yeah, namespaces are a pain.

Pro tip: Use `lxml` if you need speed or XPath, but it’s overkill for small stuff.

Check out the official docs for `xml.etree.ElementTree`—super helpful!
