Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

XML to CSV or JSON using Cloud Function
Your Cloud Function would be written in Node.js, Python, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, or PHP; pick the one you're most comfortable with. It would get the name and bucket of the newly uploaded XML file as an input parameter. It would then load the file and call a library that makes the conversion. Example libraries: xml-js (for Node), xmltodict (for Python).

Did I reinvent a wheel?
Go with xmltodict. Works pretty fine, and you just have to drop any key begining with @ or # (if there is not already an option for that).

Top python libraries/ frameworks that you suggest every one
Nope, sorry, it's just an XML generator. The Python stdlib offers https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html and PyPI offers https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict for parsing, and you could write CSV with csvwriter or pandas.

Like JQ, but for HTML
xmlstarlet is really nothing like jq, as a language. But yes, I use it because it is the best commandline xml processor I'd found. That's the only similarity to jq.
Is this the yq? https://kislyuk.github.io/yq/ It does contain an 'xq', as a literal wrapper for jq, piping output into it after transcoding XML to JSON using xmltodict https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict (which explodes xml into separate JSON data structures).
This is a bash one-liner! But TBF it really is a 'jq for xml'. I think it would be horrible for some things, but you could also do a lot of useful things painlessly.

I used raw data from my watch (and Python) to make a map of all the NH48 hikes from this year. I hiked Liberty and Flume before I got the watch in June, so I need to do those again! Color-coded by altitude.
Super-easy, take a look at xmltodict https://github.com/martinblech/xmltodict xmltodict.parse(xml_str) gets you a dictionary

lazy and fast .mpd file parser - for video streaming
So, now that I no longer work in that industry, and I had some free time, I created a lazy parsing package using lxml instead of the xml parser in the standard library, which can help people who want to have a python only parsing solution.

Parsing XML file deletes whitespace. How to avoid it?
I got curious about this now so I did some tests on my own, and it appears that the XML parser implementation in Python does indeed strip all newline characters from attributes. Whether this is according to XML standard I do not know; I also briefly tried an alternative XML implementation for Python and it behaves the same, so I would assume that this is standard behavior, but I'm not knowledgable enough about XML to say for certain.

Use case for ETL over ELT?
I use lxml for the XML parsing and pyodbc as the ODBC library. We have a small team so I just keep it as simple as possible: 1. A cursor yields the XML documents from a SQL query as a stream 2. A generator function parses the XML document and yields the rows (you could parallelize this step) 3. Stream each of the resulting rows to a single CSV file 4. Scoop up the resulting CSV file into the target database (usually with the DB engine's loader; bulk insert isn't so fast over ODBC) It ends up being a straight forward, low-overhead approach.

CompactLogix: Implementing HTTP requests & XML Data Transfer via TCP/IP
If that sounds too weird maybe take a look at pycomm3, python also has lxml as well as requests. You could write a script that retrieves the data from the clx using the appropriate pycomm3 driver for cplx and then do xml things with the data using lxml and transmit the data over http using requests.
