# Built-in reponse example
library(xml2)
doc = as_xml_document(response_matrix)

## Not run: 
# Text file with API key
key = readLines("~/key")

# Using 'data.frame' input
doc = mp_matrix(
  origins = rbind(c(34.811, 31.892), c(35.212, 31.769)),
  destinations = c(34.781, 32.085),
  key = key
)

# Using 'character' input
locations = c("Haifa", "Tel-Aviv", "Jerusalem", "Beer-Sheva")
doc = mp_matrix(
  origins = locations,
  destinations = locations
)
