Malformed XML response with manual newline characters-CodePudding

I am using a GET request to fetch what I expect to be an XML document from an endpoint. The response has the following structure:

'  <itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit>\n'  
'  <itunes:episode>11</itunes:episode>\n'  
'  <itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType>\n'

(This is from a console log in a Node.js function).

I haven't encountered a response like this before and am having trouble doing anything useful with it. I've tried:

Changing the response type and encoding of my GET function
Parsing the response with an XML parser - this throws an error
Removing the newline and characters manually with regex (I'd like to avoid this, but it doesn't seem to work anyway)

It's worth saying that the response looks as you'd expect in a browser window:

Am I missing something fundamental about how this data is encoded / structured and what is the best way to turn it into something I can work with?

CodePudding user response：

Rookie error. In case anyone else stumbles across this; I expected the response from my Axios GET request to be the xml. The response was actually in a data property in the response:

const response = await axios.get(url);
const myXML = response.data;
