I am getting some extra node in XML file which need to removed. I can do this simply using XSLT or Map though I want to achieve it using JavaScript. I want to remove the entire <Distributors> and <Location> node from input xml.

Input XML,

<bookstore>
    <book category="cooking">
        <title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>
        <author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>
        <year>2005</year>
        <price>30.00</price>
    </book>
    <book category="children">
        <title lang="en">Harry Potter</title>
        <author>J K. Rowling</author>
        <year>2005</year>
        <price>29.99</price>
    </book>
    <Location>London</Location>
    <Year>2022</Year>
    <Distributors>
        <Distributor1>Ingram</Distributor1>
        <Distributor2>Amazon</Distributor2>
        <Distributor3>Company</Distributor3>
    </Distributors>
</bookstore>

Expected Output xml

<bookstore>
    <book category="cooking">
        <title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>
        <author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>
        <year>2005</year>
        <price>30.00</price>
    </book>
    <book category="children">
        <title lang="en">Harry Potter</title>
        <author>J K. Rowling</author>
        <year>2005</year>
        <price>29.99</price>
    </book>
    <Year>2022</Year>
</bookstore>

I tried using DOM but using DOM it's consuming a lot of memory due to size of data. Is there any simple way to achieve it without much resources, otherwise I'll try to split the msg and then will check.

var xmlDoc = xml.responseXML;
var y = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("bookstore")[0];
var x = xmlDoc.documentElement.removeChild(y);

Need suggestion from experts here.
