xmlquery

For basic XML parsing, the standard Go encoding/xml package is simpler; xmlquery's XPath focus adds overhead and a steeper learning curve for straightforward tasks.

CreateStreamParser has restrictions, such as handling only simple cases without advanced filtering, as noted in the README, which may not suit all streaming needs.

Querying namespaced XML requires explicit prefix mapping with CompileWithNS, which can be error-prone and cumbersome compared to automatic namespace handling.

Find() panics on invalid XPath, while QueryAll() returns an error, leading to potential confusion and less graceful error management in applications.
