How do I use the method toXMLString?

The method toXMLString takes no argument and returns a string with the
serialized XML markup for this XML object.
Depending on the global settings for XML.prettyPrinting and
XML.prettyIndent the markup might be pretty printed i.e. formatted and
indented to allow for easier reading by a human.
Here are some examples:
  var gods = <gods><god>Kibo</god><god>Xibo</god></gods>;
  alert(gods.toXMLString());
  /* shows
  '<gods>
     <god>Kibo</god>
     <god>Xibo</god>
   </gods>'
   as by default prettyPrinting with indent of two is done.
  */
  XML.prettyPrinting = false;
  alert(gods.toXMLString());
  /* shows
  '<gods><god>Kibo</god><god>Xibo</god></gods>'
  */
