If you use angular-cli to bootstrap your application - it comes already with node module to convert xml.

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 = "Hello xml2js!"

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

You will receive next output:

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