const ofx = new Ofx(data);

const headers = ofx.getHeaders();
console.log(headers);

const transactionsSummary = ofx.getTransactionsSummary();
console.log(transactionsSummary);

const bankTransferList = ofx.getBankTransferList();
console.log(bankTransferList);

const ofxResponse = ofx.toJson();
console.log(ofxResponse);
