See, that's just the thing. I don't want to learn all that about XML, at least not right now. I don't want to mangle it, transform it or validate it. I just want to parse a relatively small, relatively simple XML file and easily extract the contents. I want to say, "Please give me the contents of the foo attribute in all the bar tags which are nested within baz tags with attribute quz." Or "Iterate over the fred tags and give me their smludges". I may then process the data directly, or write it out to a text or CSV file, or make a database out of it. It won't be going back into XML. I shouldn't have to know much about XML to do this (no more than I already do, in fact), and I shouldn't have to read acres of documentation to learn how. Right?
