How to include a javascript file with different type in the html markup?

Question

Let's say that we have a file with .js extension. We all know that it's a javascript file, but let us assume that the file type is not the usual text/javascript, instead it is text/anythingelse. Also, I have a interpreter installed that can interpret the data in the .js file with type text/anythingelse and give me pure javascript as output. But the question is how can I include the .js file with type text/anythingelse in the html markup ? As :

<script type="text/anythingelse" src="myfile.js"></script>

is not seeming to work ! The interpreter is designed something like this :

const Interpret = () => {
 const el = document.querySelectorAll("script[type='text/anythingelse']")
 for ( var i = 0; i < el.length; ++i ) {
   // Interpretaion process start from here......observe the "el" constant
 }
}

So how can I do that ?

You definitely can, but I'm not 100% certain it's the only solution — CertainPerformance

you can download the file using XMLHttpRequest()

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.open("GET", f_strUrl);
    //xhr.setRequestHeader('origin',undefined);
    xhr.responseType = "blob";//use what matches your case
    xhr.onload = function(){
        var reader  = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function(event) {
            var l_data = event.target.result;
            //process your data

            if(f_funcCallback != null){
                f_funcCallback(f_strUrl,imgData);
            }
        }.bind(this);
        reader.readAsDataURL( xhr.response);    
    };
