A lot of good suggestions; if you're looking for fast turnaround without
having to decompose and shift the data, it might be worth looking at
dedicated XML databases like eXistDB and Basex

http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/homepage/index.html
https://basex.org/

IIRC, eXist-db has dedicated functionality for building applications built
in; even if you don't go that way, I've found these very useful for
analysis of XML corpuses prior to running other software to transform them.
