slide.RemoveAllObjects();

const xmlManager = presentation.GetCustomXmlParts();
const xmlText = '<zoo><animal species="Lion" id="101"><name>Leo</name></animal></zoo>';
const xml = xmlManager.Add(xmlText);
const node = xml.GetNodes('/zoo/animal')[0];
const attributes = node.GetAttributes();

const fill = Api.CreateSolidFill(Api.RGB(230, 220, 205));
const stroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
const shape = Api.CreateShape('roundRect', Api.MillimetersToEmus(300), Api.MillimetersToEmus(130), fill, stroke);
shape.SetPosition(Api.MillimetersToEmus(20), Api.MillimetersToEmus(35));
slide.AddObject(shape);

const docContent = shape.GetContent();
const paragraph = docContent.GetElement(0);
let displayText = 'Attributes of the animal node:\n';
for (let i = 0; i < attributes.length; i++) {
	displayText += 'name: ' + attributes[i].name + ', value: ' + attributes[i].value + '\n';
