Standards are a means to clear and define communication between people and things in the world. For example, the human language, USB sockets on computers, or the fact that you must add cereal before pouring milk. When it comes to computer applications and systems, one standard stands out above the rest as the most popular choice for developers – XML (eXtensible Markup Language). In this article, we’ll explore how you can parse data from XML files using Python’s built-in libraries, see the best methods to do so, and understand the importance of effectively reading information.

What's the difference between cheap and free proxies?
Free proxies often compromise your security (data logging, malware risks), deliver poor performance (slow speeds, frequent disconnects), and offer no support. Our cheap proxies provide enterprise-grade security, guaranteed performance, and 24/7 tech support for less than $0.026 per IP. The productivity gains far outweigh the minimal cost.
Can I trust cheap proxies with sensitive business data?
Yes. All our cheap proxies include enterprise-grade security: SSL encryption, secure data centers, compliance certifications, and strict privacy policies. Decodo doesn’t compromise security, even with the most affordable solutions available in our product line.
Proxy prices vary depending on the type of proxy and your use case. Decodo, for example, is known for offering the best value among all providers available in the market, with datacenter proxies starting at $0.026/IP and static residential proxies at $0.35/IP. The exact cost depends on the type of proxy and the volume you need.
How much is 1GB of proxies?
The cost of 1GB of proxies depends on the type of proxy and the provider. Generally, residential proxies cost around $3/GB, while mobile proxies are usually pricier due to carrier-backed IPs. Decodo’s mobile proxies, for example, start from $2.25/GB.
If you're looking for the best value, it's a good idea to compare a few providers. Check out our guide on the best proxy service providers in 2025 – it’ll help you make an informed decision.
How many proxies should I buy?
For most use cases, we recommend a 1:1 ratio – one IP per task. If your project involves heavy data usage (like scraping or automation), a pay-per-GB plan may be best.
If you have a specific project, we recommend talking with our 24/7 tech support. We’re here to help you choose the best proxy type (and the volume) for your use case.
How do I choose the right proxy type for my needs?
Choosing the right proxy depends on your project and use case.
Datacenter proxies are fast and affordable for bulk scraping targets that have basic anti-bot measures.
Residential proxies are the best for bypassing strict anti-bot mechanisms as they appear like a regular user.
Static residential proxies (ISP) combine speed with stability, that are great for use cases where stable connections are a must.
Mobile proxies help with testing mobile apps or accessing advanced websites.
You can test all our proxy types with a 3-day free trial and choose the proxy match that best suits your needs.
Are free proxies safe?
Free proxies are risky. They often lack security, can log your data, and are usually slow or unreliable. Remember – when you’re using free proxies, you’re paying with your personal data. For safety and performance, choose paid proxies from a trusted provider.
Do you offer free proxies or a free trial?
Yes! All users can try all of our proxies with a 3-day free trial and 100MB. Just head to your dashboard, pick a plan, and select the trial option. You can cancel anytime before the trial ends to avoid being charged.
We also offer a 14-day money-back, just keep in mind that this refund option isn't available if you’ve already used the free trial. We recommend reading the 14-day money-back terms beforehand.
What’s the difference between static and rotating proxies?
Static proxies assign you a single, unchanging IP address for the duration of your session. This is useful for activities that require a consistent identity, like managing accounts or long-term data collection.
Rotating proxies automatically change your IP address at set intervals or with each connection. This makes them ideal for web scraping and tasks that need high anonymity, as it helps avoid detection and blocks by target websites.
Is a proxy cheaper than a VPN?
Usually, yes. Proxies tend to be more affordable, especially if you only need them for specific tasks like scraping, accessing geo-blocked content, or managing multiple accounts. They're typically priced per IP or per GB.
VPNs, on the other hand, provide full encryption and privacy protection, which makes them better for secure browsing but also more expensive, often costing $3–$12 per month. If you’re focused on cost and task-specific use, proxies are the way to go. For full privacy, a VPN might be worth the extra spend.
