I have a use use case, when any developer uploads their package in one interface  and that should go through the XML code and return if any objects in that package are using any deprecated functions.

To achieve that , is there any function that would read the XML file

    I suggest to have a look at the xPath functions.

    https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.3/fnc_scripting_xpathdocument.html

    And there is a plugin to unzip files.

    Hi Stefan,
    Thanks for it.
    I am finding difficulty in using xpathdocument() I am passing the XML file of object as docId but I was struck at expression and prefix.

    I tried giving the <definition> in the expression but its throwing the following error.
    Expression evaluation error at function a!forEach [line 6]: Error in a!forEach() expression during iteration 1: Expression evaluation error at function 'xpathdocument' [line 8]: An error occurred while trying to evaluate the XPath expression (<definition>).

    a!localVariables(
  local!allObjectsXMLcode: getdocumentsfromfolder(
    rootFolder: 372884,
    recursiveSearch: false()
  ),
  a!forEach(
    items: local!allObjectsXMLcode[1],
    expression: xpathdocument(
      docId: fv!item,
      expression: ""
    )
  )
)

    Well, I have my doubts that "<definition>" is a valid xPath expression. I suggest to spend some time to learn xPath and start with some simple examples.
