FYI, your XML formatting is better. You could make it even better by using XML::Tidy. In the bin folder, you'll find xmltidy. Just run: 
xmltidy myxml.xml

[download]
and it's done. For example, I ran your xml though xmltidy: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GeocodeResponse>
  <status>OK</status>
  <result>
    <type>postal_code</type>
    <formatted_address>Edmonton, BC V2M 4M7, Canada</formatted_address
+>
    <address_component>
      <long_name>V2M 4M7</long_name>
      <short_name>V2M 4M7</short_name>
      <type>postal_code</type>
    </address_component>
    <geometry>
      <location>
        <lat>29.1153940</lat>
        <lng>-133.8394480</lng>
      </location>
    </geometry>
  </result>
</GeocodeResponse>

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
