By today, the suggested code in other answer (which suggests node-xml2js) didn´t work. Instead of:

let parseString = require('xml2js').parseString;

I used:

import { parseString } from 'xml2js';

The remaining part was ok. Angular-cli used.

If you use angular-cli to bootstrap your application - next xml parser comes already with project installation.

https://github.com/Leonidas-from-XIV/node-xml2js

So you do not need to add extra modules for this. As it is classic commonJS module - you need use require to import it:

let parseString = require('xml2js').parseString;

So your code can looks like:

let parseString = require('xml2js').parseString;
let xml = "<root>Hello xml2js!</root>"

parseString(xml, function (err, result) {
  console.dir(result);
});

You will receive next output:

In any cases - if you even do not use angular-cli or want to use your preferred module to parse xml - use require to load it.
