Reading XML to a Dictionary

I need to read an XML file to a dictionary.

I read few guides and I only got confused from weird words that I don't understand (such as nodes, XML validation etc.). So, could you please walk me through?

I have an XML file which is written in this format:

<database>
    <def number="1" name="one"/>
    <def number="2" name="two"/>
</database>

As mentioned, I want to store it in a dictionary. How would I go about that?
