XML Catalog Reader

A tiny helper that turns a store catalog XML payload into a clean JavaScript object without ever dealing with JSON strings.

Capabilities

Returns structured object

• Given <catalog><store name="Downtown"/><product sku="sku-1"><name>Soap</name><price>4.99</price></product></catalog>, it returns a plain object { store: { name: "Downtown" }, products: [{ sku: "sku-1", name: "Soap", price: "4.99" }] } and the value must be an object (not a JSON string). @test

Handles multiple products

• When the XML has several <product> nodes, it preserves their order and returns one object per product with sku, name, and price values. @test

Trims text content

• Product names and prices are trimmed of leading/trailing whitespace in the resulting object. @test
