I have an Angular client app with a form.

HTML

<form class="example-form">
        <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
            <mat-label>SMTP Host</mat-label>
            <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex: smtp.gmail.com"></textarea>
        </mat-form-field> <br>
        <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
            <mat-label>SMTP Port</mat-label>
            <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex: 587"></textarea>
        </mat-form-field> <br>
        <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
            <mat-label>SMTP User Name</mat-label>
            <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex: example@gmail.com"></textarea>
        </mat-form-field> <br>
        <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
            <mat-label>SMTP User Password</mat-label>
            <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex: password"></textarea>
        </mat-form-field> <br>
        <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
            <mat-label>SMTP From</mat-label>
            <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex: example@gmail.com"></textarea>
        </mat-form-field> <br>
        <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
            <mat-label>SMTP Display Name</mat-label>
            <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex: Jhon"></textarea>
        </mat-form-field> <br>
        <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
            <button mat-button>Save</button>
        </mat-form-field>
    </form>

What I want to do is to save the content of each form's field in a XML file which will be read by other app. How could I accomplish this task? I have seen that file-saver could be something that might be helping me, but I'm not sure how.

I'm working with:

Angular CLI: 12.2.5

Node: 14.17.6

Package Manager: npm 6.14.15

Package Version
@angular-devkit/architect 0.1202.5 (cli-only)

@angular-devkit/core 12.2.5 (cli-only)

@angular-devkit/schematics 12.2.5 (cli-only)

@schematics/angular 12.2.5 (cli-only)

What I have tried:

File-saver

Try using JavaScript [^] and XML packages Angular-XML [^]. Hope it helps.

Sorry for being so late with a reply! I don't want to convert XML to JSON. I want to generate the XML when the Save button is clicked. So far I managed to generate the XML file but its content is not correct. How could I generate the XML with a proper content?
