That's what XML looks like. It isn't actually a mess, everything is in it's proper place, it just looks messy due to the way your browser formats it, if you paste it into a good text editor, it should become easier to read.
XML is a set of tags, like HTML, except a little more strict:
<item>
<tagname>tag contents</tagname>
<anothertag data="this is some data">tag content</anothertag>
</item>
or
<items>
<item>
<tagname>tag contents</tagname>
<anothertag data="this is some data">tag content</anothertag>
</item>
<item>
<tagname>more tag contents</tagname>
<anothertag data="this is some data">tag content</anothertag>
</item>
<item>
<tagname>and more tag contents</tagname>
<anothertag data="this is some data">tag content</anothertag>
</item>
</items>
