ENH: read_xml() does not allow to specify huge_tree=True for the 'lxml' parser.

[sergiykhan]

Feature Type

• Adding new functionality to pandas

• Changing existing functionality in pandas

• Removing existing functionality in pandas

Problem Description

read_xml() fails with the error message XMLSyntaxError: xmlSAX2Characters: huge text node.

A similar problem can be overcome when manually parsing the tree like so:

from lxml import etree
with open(filename) as f:
    tree = etree.parse(f, etree.XMLParser(huge_tree=True))

Feature Description

I am not sure what the best way to supply options to the parser would be.

Alternative Solutions

Right now, I have to read the file using the 'etree' parser like so

df = pd.read_xml(
    filename,
    parser='etree',
)

Additional Context

Similarly, the following option could be passed to the parser recover=True.
