How can I count the number of elements in an XML file using Javascript without jQuery?

Hello,

Please, help me with this issue...

I have an XML file.

The structure file is...

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?> <Teams> <Team id="1" name="Real Madrid" paisId="1"> <Players> <Player id="1" squadNumber="1" position="Portero"> <Name> <FirstName>Iker</FirstName> <LastName>Casillas Fernández</LastName> </Name> </Player> <Player id="2" squadNumber="4" position="Defensa"> <Name> <FirstName>Sergio</FirstName> <LastName>Ramos García</LastName> </Name> </Player> </Players> </Team> <Team id="2" name="Atlético Madrid" paisId="1"> <Players> <Player id="3" squadNumber="4" position="Centrocampista"> <Name> <FirstName>Mario</FirstName> <LastName>Suárez Mata</LastName> </Name> </Player> <Player id="4" squadNumber="8" position="Defensa"> <Name> <FirstName>Raúl</FirstName> <LastName>García Escudero</LastName> </Name> </Player> </Players> </Team> </Teams>

I need to count the number of players and the number of players by team and show this values in an HTML file.

I am learning Javascript and I do not know how to connect the .JS file with the XML file.

Thank you.
