What's the best way to parse XML in Python?

If you’re struggling with parse XML Python, I’d suggest `xmltodict`! It converts XML to a Python dict, which feels way more natural if you’re used to JSON.

```python
import xmltodict
with open('file.xml') as f:
data = xmltodict.parse(f.read())
print(data['root']['child'])
```
Super easy to navigate and modify. Only downside is it’s not as fast for huge files, but for small stuff, it’s perfect.
