Oh, god, please stop abusing yourself. Stop using bad tools for the job of manipulating XML/JSON and start using a tool designed for the task: Saxon XSLT. It comes in Java, .Net, and JS forms.
XPath/XSLT3/Xquery are full-fledged functional programming languages that specialize in querying and transforming tree data structures. They make it so easy to work with XML and JSON. You don’t have to hurt yourself using the wrong tools!
