/**
* Loading XML Data
* by Daniel Shiffman.
*
* This example demonstrates how to use loadXML()
* to retrieve data from an XML file and make objects
* from that data.
*
* Here is what the XML looks like:
*
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bubbles>
<bubble>
<position x="160" y="103"/>
<diameter>43.19838</diameter>
<label>Happy</label>
</bubble>
<bubble>
<position x="372" y="137"/>
<diameter>52.42526</diameter>
<label>Sad</label>
</bubble>
</bubbles>
