how to parse RDF/XML using rdflib.js or rdf-parser-rdfxml in Node.js

Question

I am trying to read an rdf/xml file and parse it possibly in JSON or JavaScript Object or any other format. I try to search a lot of node libraries but couldn't find any good example to do so. All the have provide some API without proper documentation( Or they gave but I didn't understand properly). Here is something I have tried.

var fs = require('fs'),
rdfParser = require('rdf-parser-rdfxml');

var res=rdfParser(__dirname+'/1.xml');
console.log(res);

here is 1.xml file

<rdf:RDF

</rdf:RDF>

I have also tried with rdflib.js in pretty much similar way.

var fs = require('fs'),
    $rdf = require('rdflib');

//var parser = new xml2js.Parser();
fs.readFile(__dirname + '/1.xml', function(err, data) {
    // Fetch data via a regular AJAX call, load from a file, or pass in a literal
    // string. In this example, it was loaded from 'https://fred.me/profile'
    var store = $rdf.graph()  // Init a new empty graph
    var contentType = 'application/rdf+xml'
    var baseUrl = ""
    var parsedGraph = $rdf.parse(data, store, baseUrl, contentType);

    $rdf.parse(data,function(triples){
        for (var i in triples){
            console.log(triples[i]);
        }
    })
});

Help me out someone :) Thanx in advance

I have found fs.readFile returns Object instead of String. So modified Source is Here:

var fs = require("fs");
var $rdf = require("rdflib");

var rdfData = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + "/1.xml").toString();

var store = $rdf.graph();
var contentType = "application/rdf+xml";
var baseUrl = "http://IoFTriples.com";
try {
  $rdf.parse(rdfData, store, baseUrl, contentType);

  var stms = store.statementsMatching(undefined, undefined, undefined);
  for (var i = 0; i < stms.length; i++) {
    var stm = stms[i];
    console.log(stm); // the WebID of a friend
  }
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err);
}
