9/// Reads structured data from an XML file.
10///
11/// The XML file is parsed into an array of dictionaries and strings. XML nodes
12/// can be elements or strings. Elements are represented as dictionaries with
13/// the following keys:
14///
15/// - `tag`: The name of the element as a string.
16/// - `attrs`: A dictionary of the element's attributes as strings.
17/// - `children`: An array of the element's child nodes.
18///
19/// The XML file in the example contains a root `news` tag with multiple
20/// `article` tags. Each article has a `title`, `author`, and `content` tag. The
21/// `content` tag contains one or more paragraphs, which are represented as `p`
22/// tags.
23///
24/// = Example <example>
25/// ```example
26/// #let find-child(elem, tag) = {
27///   elem.children
28///     .find(e => "tag" in e and e.tag == tag)
29/// }
30///
31/// #let article(elem) = {
32///   let title = find-child(elem, "title")
33///   let author = find-child(elem, "author")
34///   let pars = find-child(elem, "content")
35///
36///   [= #title.children.first()]
37///   text(10pt, weight: "medium")[
38///     Published by
39///     #author.children.first()
40///   ]
41///
42///   for p in pars.children {
43///     if type(p) == dictionary {
44///       parbreak()
45///       p.children.first()
