Answer 1

If you want to store a little amount of data and you are using cordova, you could use get and set local storage:

localStorage.setItem("lastname", "Smith");

and

var agentSmith=localStorage.getItem("lastname");

as w3school says:

With local storage, web applications can store data locally within the user's browser.

but if you want to use xml, you could do:

var v = new  XMLWriter();
   v.writeStartDocument(true);
   v.writeElementString('test','Hello ');
   v.writeAttributeString('foo','bar');
   v.writeEndDocument();
   console.log( v.flush() );

and obtain:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="true" ?>
<test foo="bar">Hello World</test>

like here create and modify xml file using javascript
