The performance of `xml-tokenizer` was benchmarked against other popular XML parsers. These tests focus on XML to object conversion and node counting. Interestingly, the version of `xml-tokenizer` imported directly from npm performed significantly better. The reason for this discrepancy is unclear, but the results seem accurate based on external testing.
