You can try using xml2js to convert your malformed xml to JSON and use it again to convert to xml. Try the following code.

let xml2js = require('xml2js');
var xml = "<hi>Hello xml2js!</hi>";
xml2js.parseString(xml, function (err, result) {
    console.dir(result);
    var builder = new xml2js.Builder();
    var xml = builder.buildObject(result);
    console.log(xml)
});

Update : Direct File read

var parser = new xml2js.Parser();
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/foo.xml', function(err, data) {
    parser.parseString(data, function (err, result) {
        console.dir(result);
        console.log('Done');
        var builder = new xml2js.Builder();
        var xml = builder.buildObject(result);
        console.log(xml)
    });
});
