fxparser 5.0.8 displays the version of the application, not its own version

• Are you running the latest version? 5.0.8
• Have you included sample input, output, error, and expected output?
• Have you checked if you are using correct configuration?
• Did you try online tool? not relevant here
• Have you checked the docs for helpful APIs and examples? not relevant here

Description

Installing fast-xml-parser with the following package.json

{
  "name": "fxp-version",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "fast-xml-parser": "5.0.8"
  }
}

The fxparser version is wrong: it should be 5.0.8

$ npx fxparser --version
0.0.0

Possible root cause

This behavior has probably been introduced in 8f6e089 to fix #718

Would you like to work on this issue?

• Yes. I can help with discussions and tests
• No

Sorry I didnt understand it. The code you're highlighting is expected to be installed globally to be used as CLI command.

Hi, I provided the reproduction with a local installation because it makes things easier to check.
I have the same behavior using a npm script calling fxparser in the project shared in the issue description.

Installing globally is worse: I got an error like this when I run the command in a directory where there is no package.json file. If there is a package.json file, I have the same behavior as when installing fxparser locally.

In https://github.com/NaturalIntelligence/fast-xml-parser/blob/v5.0.8/src/cli/man.js#L3, the process tries to load a package.json located in the current directory of the process, which seems to be the root cause of the problem.
Previously, the package.json file of the fxp npm package was loaded.
