loadFromXmlFile - can't get it to work

[Dan Korneff]

Am I doing something wrong? (probably)
I'm trying to load data from an xml file and parse it to JSON. My code looks like this:

var xmlData = File.loadFromXmlFile("path\to\file);

But I'm getting the error

Unknown function 'loadFromXmlFile'

@Dan-Korneff Does this work? I don't have any JSON xml files to test but it doesn't return any errors:

var xmlData;

FileSystem.browse(FileSystem.AudioFiles, false, "*.xml", function(result)
{
    xmlData = result.loadFromXmlFile();   
    //maybe some other step here? 
});

@Dan-Korneff when it comes to file loading, you have to get a reference to the file first :

const appData = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.AppData); 
const myXmlFile = appData.getChildFile("MyFile.xml");

const xmlData = myXmlFile.loadFromXmlFile();

The solution by @iamlamprey works too if you want to open the browser.
