How to parse data from xml file into javascript?

Question

JavaScript

Hello. The task was to fill in the form input fields from the xml file loaded into the input (or possibly json). That is, the file will not be from the server, but local.
The question is, is it possible to read it and then extract everything from the xml format into a js object, and then insert it into the form fields?
