Fixed Parsing issues

I have fixed some old rare parsing issues which were being difficult to handle.

• refactoring to support Unicode chars in the tag name
• update typing for validator error

Update validator for error message

After this release some error messages return by validator will be updated. Validator will also return line number now.

Update tagValueProcessor to work with date value (broken changes)

Update tagValueProcessor of js object/JSON to XML Parser to work with date value. Previously, all the values pass to this function were string and empty in case of object. Now the values are in their original data type and work for date object.

Add a feature stopNodes

By specifying stopNodes which a list of tag names, a user can stop the parser to go in deep for parsing. Nested XML will be parsed as string as a value to the stop node.
