Out of memory error while parsing large string

[ghost]

When I'm trying to parse strings from 100+mb files I get out of memory error. And I don't get this error trying to parse files smaller than 100mb (approximately).

Code:

const fs = require('fs');
const DOMParser = new require('xmldom').DOMParser;

let fromFile = './file';
let toFile = './result.json';

console.log('Reading file...');
let file = fs.readFileSync(fromFile);

console.log('Converting file data to string...');
let fileString = file.toString();

console.log('Parsing file data...');
let data = new DOMParser().parseFromString(fileString); // I get the error here

Output:

D:\Dev\OpenSource\osm-to-geojson>node ./osmtojson.js
Reading file...
Converting file data to string...
Parsing file data...

You don't need a large string - just something a bit complex like this :-

$ node test-xmldom.js > jr.txt
