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

Wow, thanks everyone! Didn’t expect so many tips.

Tried `lxml` with `iterparse` and it’s way faster—no more crashes on big files!

Still struggling with namespaces tho. Anyone got a *simple* example for stripping them?

Also, is `xmltodict` worth learning for quick edits?
