title: XML parsing in Python for big data
body: <p>I am trying to parse an XML file using Python. But the problem is that the XML file size is around 30GB. So, it's taking hours to execute:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tree = ET.parse('Posts.xml')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my XML file, there are millions of child elements of the root. Is there any way to make it faster? I don't need all the children to parse. Even the first 100,000 would be fine. All I need is to set a limit for the depth to parse.</p>
