Today will be used mostly json which is easier to parsing. If you need xml you can do that i.e. as follows: let myxml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>' + '<artists>' + '<artist name="Christina">' + '<albums>' + '<album>' + '<title>Dirrty</title>' + '<year>2011</year>' + '</album>' + '</albums>' + '</artist>' + '</artists>'; let myParser = new DOMParser(); let xmlDOM = myParser.parseFromString(myxml, 'text/xml'); let artist = xmlDOM.querySelector('artist'); console.log(artist.getAttribute('name')); // "Christina" console.log(artist.querySelector('title').textContent); // "Dirrty" console.log(artist.querySelector('year').textContent); // 2011

Your welcome Galaxy-Coding . The selection of XML elements is similar to html DOM. The example as follows shows all needed for it. I hope, this will help you. https://code.sololearn.com/WKzTAH2PqetR/?ref=app
