This importer reads XML and transforms it into a data structure. Two types of structure can be choosen among:

Elements and attributes and converted to keys in a key-value structure. For instance

<doc attr="value">
  <field1>foo</field1>
  <field1>bar</field1>
  <bar>
    <doz>baz</doz>
  </bar>
</doc>

is imported as

{
  attr => 'value',
  field1 => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
  field2 => { 'doz' => 'baz' },
}

ordered

Elements are preserved in the order of their appereance. For instance the sample document above is imported as:

[ 
    doc => { attr => "value" }, [
        [ field1 => { }, ["foo"] ],
        [ field1 => { },  ["bar"] ],
        [ field2 => { }, [ [ doz => { }, ["baz"] ] ] ]
    ]
] 

Attributes can be omitted with option attributes.
