Error parsing XML tag named <constructor>

Description

If XML contains a tag named <constructor>, an invalid object gets added to the output.
This does not happen if an attribute named constructor exists (and disabling any name prefix).

I traced it back to node2json.js:compress() (input into the function was fine, but output was problematic).

Code

import { XMLParser } from "fast-xml-parser";

const xml = `<root><constructor /></root>`;
const json = new XMLParser().parse(xml);
console.log(json);

Output

{ root: { constructor: [ [Function: Object], '' ] } }

Expected data

{ root: { constructor: '' } }
