Without taking a peak at anyone's work, I was able to come up with the same results. Here is my approach.

I guess I use macros too often

I built a simple macro to wrap around James Omnibus XML Input tool which automatically parses out XML

We did this challenge a while ago at the Data School class, and I still don't like HTML parsing

Hey @Natasha,

I'm in full agreement with you about HTML parsing being a bit undeveloped at the moment.

If you have any ideas about how the product team could close this gap - drop them under the "Ideas" section - they do read these, and if the idea is well supported by the community it has a good chance of making it into the product.

I mean the columns are out of order, but the content is there 😉

First time using the alteryx xml parser. It was a little humbling

Same here.  First time using xml parse.  Lot of trial and error (mostly error).  Makes sense now!

I find parsing XML really tedious to parse. It takes me ages to get the right tag name. Eventually found two solutions that are both different to the more linear official solution give. My solution attached.
