Thank god

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.

What is this, a crossover episode?

Meh. I just wish XML was easier to parse. I have to shuttle a lot of XML data back and forth. As far as I can tell, the only way to query the data is to download a whole engine to run a special query language, and that doesn't really integrate into any of my workflows. JSON retains the hierarchy and is trivially parsed in almost any programming language. I bet a JSON file containing the exact same data would be much smaller also, since you don't list each tag twice.

My employer has their own power plant and gardens and I got to go on a "field trip" to both of those places and yeah, it was pretty dope. They sent out an invite asking the department if we wanted to go check out these places, so I signed up figuring it would be a good networking opportunity. It was, I connected with a bunch of people. Plus i got to see the inside of a power plant, how cool is that? More employers should do this.

That will pay for like an hour. The dude is screwed.

Or they wanted to play off that kneejerk reaction to get you engaged. Ciri studied under Triss, Yen, and Avala'ch and knows actual magic. They could just be the more powerful actual versions of what witchers try and emulate.
