What's the best way to handle XML parsing in modern applications? or Struggling with XML parsing? Any

If you’re in Java land, JAXB can make xml parsing less painful. It maps XML to objects, so you don’t have to deal with raw tags.

For nested tags, I use XSLT to transform the XML into something simpler. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but worth it.

Also, VSCode’s XML tools extension helps with formatting and validation.
