Another version:
// xml is the result of `DOMParser.parseFromString()`
function xml2json(xml) {
if (xml.children.length === 0)
return xml.textContent.trim()
const obj = {}
for (let child of xml.children) {
const name = child.nodeName
if (obj[name] === undefined)
obj[name] = xml2json(child)
else {
if (!Array.isArray(obj[name]))
obj[name] = [obj[name]]
obj[name].push(xml2json(child))
}
}
return obj
}

Great News! I finally solved my own problem. Everything is working now. I had to include another child node to be retrieved (CDATA-Section) of type level 4 and bingo, all data needed came in and I can now extract what I need in the format I need it. Thanks all.
