local rootNode = xmlLoadString("<animals test='x'><monkey name='crosroad'></monkey> <turtle name='luxy'></turtle></animals>")

if rootNode then
	local rootAttributes = xmlNodeGetAttributes(rootNode)
	print("Root Node", "Name: "..xmlNodeGetName(rootNode),  "Attributes :"..toJSON(rootAttributes))
	
	local children = xmlNodeGetChildren(rootNode)
	
	for i, childNode in ipairs(children) do
