Get Raw XML data from DomParser in Javascript

I’m using this to use a XML document

_getXmlDocument: function(TextToParse) {
try {
            //XmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
            var XmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
            XmlDoc.async = "false"
            XmlDoc.loadXML(TextToParse);
        }
        catch(ex) {
            Efficy.log("_getXmlDocument - Cannot create an XML document: " + ex.description)
            //Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, etc.
            try {
                Parser = new DOMParser()
                XmlDoc = Parser.parseFromString(TextToParse,"text/xml")
            }
            catch(ex) {throw new Error("Cannot create an XML document: " + ex.description)}
        }
        return XmlDoc
    }

I would like to after getting a specific tag

privates._XmlGetElementsByTagName(data, "tagname")

to simply export the raw XML including the XML tags in a string.
But I cannot find a way to do this

I tried looping etc but no results

    Use XMLSerializer to change it back into a string.

    const note = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note>
  <to>Tove</to>
  <from>Jani</from>
  <heading>Reminder</heading>
  <body>

const parser = new DOMParser()
const xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(note,"text/xml");

const body = xmlDoc.querySelector("body");

const serializer = new XMLSerializer();
const xmlStr = serializer.serializeToString(body);

console.log(xmlStr);

    You can serialize a specific DOM node to XML.

    const xmlString = `<foo><bar atttribute="value">content</bar></foo>`;
const xmlDocument = (new DOMParser).parseFromString(xmlString, 'text/xml');
const serializer = new XMLSerializer();

const output = Array.from(xmlDocument.getElementsByTagName('bar'))
  .map(
    (node) => serializer.serializeToString(node)
  )
  .join('');
  
console.log(output);

    For node.js you can use @xmldom/xmldom.
