Convert String to XML Document in JavaScript

Question

Saw this example on the jQuery examples page for Ajax:

var xmlDocument = [create xml document];
$.ajax({
        url: \"page.php\",
        processData: fa         


        

Answer 1

You can do the conversion without jQuery. This is taken from Mozilla's DOMParser Documentation:

// Create a DOMParser
var parser = new DOMParser();

// Use it to turn your xmlString into an XMLDocument
var xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(xmlString, "application/xml");
