Answer 1

why not doing the array directly?

var positions = document.getElementsByTagName("positions");
var positions_final_arr = [];
for(int i = 0; i < positions.length; i++){
    positions_final_arr[i] = [];
    var inner_pos = positions[i].getElementsbyTagName("position");
    for(int l = 0; l < inner_pos.length; l++){
        positions_final_arr[i][l] = inner_pos[i].value;
    }
}
console.log(positions_final_arr);
