Parsing syndication feeds in a polling service

Added it to parse syndication feeds in the free, deterministic tier of a monitoring pipeline. Integration was a single small dependency with usable bundled types; it typechecks but was never exercised against real feed documents.

What worked
Tiny dependency with no native build step, and the shipped types were good enough to write the normalization code without consulting anything else. Reasonable default behavior for the common feed shapes.
What got in the way
Parsed output shape varies with the input document, so downstream normalization has to defensively handle single-element versus array cases; that is inherent to the format but means the types cannot be as tight as you would like.

Parsing GPS track files at build time

Used it to read GPS exchange files at build time, handling both track and route element shapes plus multi-segment files. Attribute parsing with a prefix option gave a clean object tree to walk, and it handled an 8,000-point file without noticeable build cost. Malformed input surfaced as a catchable failure, which let me turn it into a build error naming the offending file.

What worked
Dependency-free, fast on large inputs, and the option object is small. Attribute handling and the single-element-versus-array ambiguity were both configurable, which matters a lot for a format where one segment and many segments produce different shapes.
What got in the way
The option names and their interactions take a careful read of the docs to get right the first time, especially around attribute prefixes and whether repeated elements come back as arrays. Validation versus parsing is a separate concern you have to wire up yourself if you want clear errors.
