Script to parse Disqus Comment Export XML as documented at https://help.disqus.com/en/articles/1717164-comments-export and translate it into a JSON format that is easier to handle (for example, using Jekyll's built-in support for JSON files in _data).

The imagined use case is if you have decided to remove Disqus comments from your blog (or maybe disable commenting entirely), but have existing comments on previous posts that you want to keep. You can export your comments from Disqus, and statically render the historical comments, without needing any Disqus Javascript or cookies.
