  That’s kind of my point though. For being made specifically for the purpose of being machine readable, its kind of a pain in the ass to work with.

  I want a command line utility where I can just

  xmlquery --query 'some/query' --file foo.xml --output foo-out.xml
  

  or in python

  
  import xml
  
  with open("foo.xml", "r") as file:
      data = xml.load(file.read())
  

  That’s the amount of effort I want to put into parsing a data storage format.
