Function to convert XML to JSON

xmlToJson.js

/*
Usage:

1. If you have an XML file URL:

const response = await fetch('file_url');
const xmlString = await response.text();
var XmlNode = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xmlString, 'text/xml');
xmlToJson(XmlNode);

2. If you have an XML as string:

var XmlNode = new DOMParser().parseFromString(yourXmlString, 'text/xml');
xmlToJson(XmlNode);

3. If you have the XML as a DOM Node:

xmlToJson(YourXmlNode);
