In Python, it is possible to parse large XML files using a cElementTree approach. The approach is described here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-hiperfparse/

If I have a 450MB XML file that does not fit in memory, is there an R solution that goes through the file in chunks (e.g., following certain XML elements). (not a scan() solution)

See `?xmlEventParse` in the XML package. – G. Grothendieck Jul 11 '14 at 14:13
