var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (xhttp.readyState == 4 && xhttp.status == 200) {
        myFunction(xhttp);
    }
};
xhttp.open("GET", "books.xml", true);
xhttp.send();

function myFunction(xml) {
    var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML =
    "XML encoding: " + xmlDoc.xmlEncoding +
    "<br>XML standalone: " + xmlDoc.xmlStandalone +
    "<br>XML version: " + xmlDoc.xmlVersion +
    "<br>Encoding used when parsing: " + xmlDoc.inputEncoding;
