Load xml keys and values into a Map:

    public static Map parseConfig() throws ConfigurationException {

        XMLConfiguration config = new XMLConfiguration("config.xml");
        NodeList list = config.getDocument().getElementsByTagName("entry");

        Map map = new HashMap();
        for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++) {
            Node node = list.item(i);
            String key = node.getAttributes().getNamedItem("key").getTextContent();
            String val = node.getTextContent();
            map.put(key, val);
        }
        System.out.println(map);
        return map;
    }

OUTPUT:
{favoriteSeason=summer, favoriteFruit=pomegranate, favoriteDay=today}
