xml - What is the best way manipulate an EAD file in JS / TypeScript

Question

I try to write an editor to visualize and update an EAD file which is like a XHTML file but with specififc rules and tags (see https://www.loc.gov/ead/. Example of an EAD file : https://www.loc.gov/ead/tglib/appendix_c.html). To realize this task, I think the best way is to parse/validate the file, then represent it to a virtual DOM, which I can manipulate easily (add new tag or text, delete some parts or just update, etc.).

Questions :

• How could I write a specific parser for EAD only and represent it to a virtual DOM ? (Is there a specific library for this job in JS or TypeScript ?)
• How could I write a specific validator for EAD only ? (XSD or DTD file exists for validation) (I don't find a pure JS/TS library who can validate an XML file from a XSD or DTD file).

I try some stuff with jsdom (https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom) but the result is not fine. I'm open to any remarks or propositions to solve the problem.
