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.

Time to train an LLM to format XML and hope for the best

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

Just install python and format it. Then

I use vim macros. You can do some crazy formatting with it

Meanwhile, I can open a 1GB file in (stock) vim without any trouble at all.

Formatting is what xmllint is for.

You don't need to open a file in a text editor to format it
