I have the same problem with XML too. Notepad++ has a plugin that can format a 50MB XML file in a few seconds. But my current client won't allow plugins installed. So I have to use VS Code, which chokes on anything bigger than what I could do myself manually if I was determined.

Do we need a "don't parse xml with LLM" copypasta?
