stream: true not working? #11

Description

@coaperator

Hello, I am trying to process a 100 megabyte (~ 900 thousand lines in a file) xml file in streaming mode

  const XmlReader = require('xml-reader')

  const file = fs.createReadStream(
    'public/prices/middle-price_list.yml',
    'utf8'
  )

  const parser = XmlReader.create({ stream: true })

  file.on('data', (chunk) => {
    parser.parse(chunk)
  })

  // Tried another option from the documentation
  // file.on('data', (chunk) => {
  //   chunk.split('').forEach((char) => parser.parse(char))
  // })

  parser.on('tag:catalog', (data) => {
    objShop.date = data.attributes.date
  })

  parser.on('tag:shop', (data) => {
    objShop.name = data.children.filter(
      (el) => el.name == 'name'
    )[0]?.children[0]?.value

    objShop.company = data.children.filter(
      (el) => el.name == 'company'
    )[0]?.children[0]?.value

    objShop.url = data.children.filter(
      (el) => el.name == 'url'
    )[0]?.children[0]?.value
  })

  parser.on('tag:offer', (data) => {
    objPrice.push({
      title: data.children.filter((el) => el.name == 'name')[0]?.children[0]
        ?.value,
      url: data.children.filter((el) => el.name == 'url')[0]?.children[0]
        ?.value,
      picture: data.children.filter((el) => el.name == 'picture')[0]
        ?.children[0]?.value,
    })
  })

  parser.on('done', (data) => {
    console.log('objShop', objShop)
    console.log('objPrice', objPrice.length)
  })

The file is processed normally, but during processing, the RAM is occupied by more than 1.5 gigabytes
what am I doing wrong?
