Feature: Browser-compatible version

[Techn1c4l]

While using this package in browsers despite not using streams, I'm getting errors since Buffer and process are not defined in this environment.

ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined
    at node_modules/duplexify/index.js (index.js:6:21)
    at __require2 (chunk-62VDRKYJ.js?v=80dff520:19:50)
    at node_modules/pumpify/index.js (index.js:3:17)
    at __require2 (chunk-62VDRKYJ.js?v=80dff520:19:50)
    at node_modules/minify-xml/index.js (index.js:244:17)
    at __require2 (chunk-62VDRKYJ.js?v=80dff520:19:50)
    at dep:minify-xml:1:16

This is because this package uses duplexify and pumpify packages, which require the Buffer class and the process object.
Is there a possibility for a browser-compatible version? My project has a lot of workers and to fix this issue I have to do weird things like this:

import { Buffer } from 'buffer';

(window as any).Buffer = Buffer;
(window as any).process = { version: 'browser' };

I'm aware there are other workarounds like polyfills, Vite plugins and other solutions, unfortunately they are not always fully reliable.

Please consider including browser-friendly export for this great library.

Mhm good idea, but definitely nothing "short term" on my agenda. If you want to suggest how to do this via a PR, please feel free. But atm. I don't think I will find the time to provide you a change that will suit your needs. This is mainly a NodeJS library and used e.g. in the Chromium project, so running in a browser, whilst I like the idea, is not a main priority for the library atm. Sorry.

I will flag this issue appropriately and if anyone wants to come up with a good suggestion in this direction, I will be happy to review / support.
