There's no need to fully parse the xml of entire clearleap api responses to JSON. And there doesn't seem to be a compelling reason to use xml2json, unless api responses need to be rendered on the back end in an isomorphic app. Usually, we just want to pluck certain values out, massage them a bit, and add them as properties of an object/structure better suited to presentation.

At its simplest, this can be done with a function that takes an instance of Node, performs DOM querying logic to retrieve and aggregate values from elements and attributes, and then returns a single value.

This gist shows a way to reuse and compose pure functions of this variety to converge parsing operations for invidual values into a final object. Because only pure functions are involved, presumably parsing could be parallelized with web workers (https://adambom.github.io/parallel.js/). Each pure function involved is also automatically memoized and passed wi
