    Fortunately I've haven't had to work with XML for years. It is anyway an
    ugly format and pretty much unreadable even for humans, with the actual
    data barely discernable amidst all the tag clutter. Here's a real
    example:

    <Declarant>
    <Declarant_code>00013464-00002735</Declarant_code>
    <Declarant_name>
    ....
    <Declarant_representative>
    <null />
    </Declarant_representative>
    <Reference>
    <Year>2017</Year> <Number>001A</Number>
    </Reference>
    </Declarant>

    I’ve handled worse. How about this (after fixing that missing closing
    tag):

    <Declarant>
    <Declarant_code>
    00013464-00002735
    </Declarant_code>
    <Declarant_name>
    ....
    </Declarant_name>
    <Declarant_representative>
    <null/>
    </Declarant_representative>
    <Reference>
    <Year>
    2017
    </Year>
    <Number>
    001A
    </Number>
    </Reference>
    </Declarant>
