Yes, lots of excellent suggestions from folks. I was actually looking at Basex earlier today as a tool to review the XML once we have it. Thanks!

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. - Dave Mayo (He/Him) Software Dev @ Harvard LTS On Thu, Dec 17, 2020 at 2:53 PM Stuart A.
