How do I get an elements child WITH XML syntax, for exmaple get album would result in <title>Dirrty><year><2011></year>
How many elements exist as a child of an element, for example album would result in 2

Today will be used mostly json which is easier to parsing. If you need xml you can do that i.e. as follows:

let myxml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>' +
'<artists>' +
'<artist name="Christina">' +
'<albums>' +
'<album>' +
'<title>Dirrty</title>' +
'<year>2011</year>' +
'</album>' +
'</albums>' +
'</artist>' +
'</artists>';
let myParser = new DOMParser();
let xmlDOM = myParser.parseFromString(myxml, 'text/xml');
let artist = xmlDOM.querySelector('artist');
console.log(artist.getAttribute('name')); // "Christina"
console.log(artist.querySelector('title').textContent); // "Dirrty"
console.log(artist.querySelector('year').textContent); // 2011

Your welcome Galaxy-Coding . The selection of XML elements is similar to html DOM. The example as follows shows all needed for it. I hope, this will help you.
