trouble trying to load in an XML file to processing

Hello,

I am having trouble simply trying to load a XML file into the XMLElement object and am not sure what I am doing wrong.

My XML file is as follows:
1. <?xml version="1.0"?>
2. <index>
3. <test1 id="1" name="one">test1</test1>
4. <test2 id="2" name="two">test2</test2>
5. <test3 id="3" name="three">test3</test3>
6. </index>
And my code is simply:
2. XMLElement xml;
4. void setup() {
5. size(200, 200);
6. String xmlDoc = "xmlDoc.xml";
7. xml = = new XMLElement(this, xmlDoc);
8. }
This then gives a compile error:

Invalid input: `?' (0xfeff), SystemID='file:.', Line=1

at processing.xml.XMLUtil.errorInvalidInput(Unknown Source)

at processing.xml.StdXMLParser.scanData(Unknown Source)

at processing.core.PApplet.handleDraw(Unknown Source)

at processing.core.PApplet.run(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

My xml file is saved next to the pde file in my sketchbook. I've tried putting the xml file in a folder called "data" but then it can't be found. As far as I can see, I'm doing exactly the same as in the XMLElement reference http://processing.org/reference/XMLElement.html and I can't figure out what's going wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
