How can I remove data type information from my xml in MarkLogic Javascript?

Question

I have an XML data generated via Javascript in MarkLogic:

<Activities datatype="array">
	<Activity>
	  <ActivityCrewSize>10</ActivityCrewSize>
	  <ActivitySeqNo>1</ActivitySeqNo>
	  <ActivityDesc/>
	</Activity>
</Activities>

How can I remove the datatype information so it will just look like this:

<Activities>
	<Activity>
	  <ActivityCrewSize>10</ActivityCrewSize>
	  <ActivitySeqNo>1</ActivitySeqNo>
	  <ActivityDesc/>
	</Activity>
 </Activities>

obj.Activities = [];

let act = {
    '$type': 'Activity',
    '$version': '0.0.1',
     }	
	 
for (const item of activities) {

	act.ActivityCrewSize = fn.normalizeSpace(hl.elementText(item, "CrewSize", true)); 
	act.ActivitySeqNo = fn.normalizeSpace(hl.elementText(item, "SeqNo", true)); 
	act.ActivityDesc = hl.elementText(item, null, true);

	obj.Activities.push(act);	
}

return obj;

I was able to remove the data type information by converting the data using the Sequence.from function in MarkLogic. Hope this may help anyone in the future.
