I am trying to convert an xml string to json. All the data until now has been loading successfully, but then I discovered that sometimes when reading the data, the point did not exist.

Using this xmlString:

```xml
<!DOCTYPE Metadata SYSTEM "/data/someConfig/path"><Metadata>
    <Standard>
        <Priority>Medium</Priority>
        <DueDate/>
        <Comment/>
        <Size/>
    </Standard>
    <PublicationsInformation/>
    <Details>
        <CommissionedCount/>
    </Details>
    <EventDetails>
        <EventContacts>
            <EventContact>
                <PersonName/>
                <PersonEmail/>
                <PersonPhone/>
            </EventContact>
        </EventContacts>
        <Journalist>
            <PersonName>Journalist name here</PersonName>
        </Journalist>
    </EventDetails>
    <Location>
        <SubLocation>Sydney NSW, Australia</SubLocation>
        <Suburb>Sydney</Suburb>
        <State>NSW</State>
        <Country>AU</Country>
        <Latitude/>
        <Longitude/>
        <AdditionalLocationDetails/>
        <Lat>-33.8688197</Lat>
        <Lng>151.2092955</Lng>
    </Location>
    <EventAssignedTo>
        <InternalUserEmails/>
        <InternalUserSMS/>
        <InternalUserNames/>
    </EventAssignedTo>
    <TestPath>
        <EventName>An event name</EventName>
    </TestPath>
</Metadata>

```

Run in this code:

```js
export const getCurrentMetaData = (ctx: any): object => {
    const xmlStr = serializer.serializeToString(xmlMetaData);

    console.log('XML string: ') 
    console.log(xmlStr)

    const options = { compact: true, spaces: 4 };
    const json = xml2js(xmlStr, options);

    console.log('Converted to json: ')
    console.log(json)

    return json;
};

```

I get this output object:

```json

    "_doctype": "Metadata SYSTEM \"/data/someConfig/path"",
    "Metadata": {
        "Standard": {
            "Priority": {

            },
            "Country": {

            "InternalUserEmails": {},
            "InternalUserSMS": {},
            "InternalUserNames": {}
        },
        "TestPath": {
            "EventName": {
                "_text": "An event name"
            }
        }
    }
}

```

As you can see, the Journalist.PersonName is missing here.
Furthermore, if I use lodash.get(obj, 'Metadata.EventDetails.Journalist.PersonName.\_text') I get the information, even if I don't see the data on the actual object when printing it. What is happening here, and do anyone have any idea how to fix it?
