What's the best way to handle Python XML parsing and manipulation? or Struggling with Python XML? Any

Validation? I YOLO it most of the time, but if it’s critical, `lxml` also does schema validation.

Also, `BeautifulSoup` can parse XML too, though it’s slower. But hey, if you’re already using it for HTML...
