Reading data from xml file input by user Blazor web assembly

So, I used <input> tag and input an xml file from the user. Now I want to read the content of the file. I want to be able to save the content as a JSON Object. This will be of the type IBrowserFile but I am not sure how can I use this to iterate over the file and fetch the data. If there is some other way to do so please let me know. Sample html written is:

<input type="file" onchange="@LoadFile" accept=".xml" />

Please help me finding a solution for this!

You can get a stream:

async Task LoadFile(InputFileChangeEventArgs e)
{
   var stream = e.File.OpenReadStream();
   var doc = await XDocument.LoadAsync(stream, ...);
   // process your data
}

Note that Microsoft does not recommend this kind of in-memory operations, estimate your risks.
