Try the below code it may help you.

public function index(){
    $xmlString = file_get_contents(storage_path() . "/json/ashan.xml"));
    $xmlObject = simplexml_load_string($xmlString);
            
    $json = json_encode($xmlObject);

I recommend using XMLReader, something like this:

    $counter = 0;
    $variable = [];
    $variable[$counter] = new \stdClass();
    $xmlFile = "/file/path.xml";
    $xml = new \XMLReader();
    $xml->open($xmlFile);
    try {
        while ($xml->read()) {
            if ($xml->nodeType == \XMLReader::ELEMENT) {
                //assuming the values you're looking for are for each "item" element as an example
                if ($xml->name == 'item') {
                    $variable[++$counter] = new \stdClass();
                    $variable[$counter]->thevalueyouwanttoget = '';
                }
                if ($xml->name == 'thevalueyouwanttoget') {
                    $variable[$counter]->thevalueyouwanttoget = $xml->readString();
                }
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        ....
    } finally() {
    $xml->close();
    }
