storing images in xml file

I am new to XML. I have an XML document that I am inserting data manually. I wanted to know if it is possible to include an image in an XML file and not by using the file path. I have found something about encoding but I do not understand how this work and the option is not even available in the XML editor. After storing the images in the XML file, I will access it using javascript. Please provide further information on this matter.

An image is binary data, and the usual way to store binary data in an XML document is by encoding it in base64 (which turns it into ASCII characters). Libraries to convert from binary to base64, and back, are widely available, but the details depend very much on your programming environment. There are also online services where you can upload an image and get back its base64 representation: an example is here https://www.base64encode.net/base64-image-encoder
