For large XML files, streaming parsers like `iterparse` from `xml.etree` can save memory. It’s not the fastest, but avoids loading the whole file at once.
`lxml` is faster, but if you can’t install it, `ElementTree` with `iterparse` is a decent fallback.
Validation? Schemas are the way. `lxml` supports ’em, but if you’re lazy (like me), just catch exceptions and pray.
Here’s a good tutorial on streaming: [https://realpython.com/python-xml-parser...l-parser/)
