$xmlString = "
     <sequencer name=\"AXX\" slug=\"axx\">
          <sequencer name=\"BER\" slug=\"ber\"></sequencer>
      </sequencer>    
";

Code

$xmlObject = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);
$xmlAttributes = $xmlObject->attributes();// current() method takes care of the conversion
$xmlAttributesArray = current($xmlAttributes);

Output

[
  "name" => "AXX"
  "slug" => "axx"
]
