Check if HTML snippet is valid with Javascript

Question

I need a reliable Javascript library / function to check if a HTML snippet is valid that I can call from my code. For example, it should check that opened tags and quotation

Answer 1

function validHTML(html) {
  var openingTags, closingTags;

  html        = html.replace(/<[^>]*\/\s?>/g, '');      // Remove all self closing tags
  html        = html.replace(/<(br|hr|img).*?>/g, '');  // Remove all 
, 
, and  tags
  openingTags = html.match(/<[^\/].*?>/g) || [];        // Get remaining opening tags
  closingTags = html.match(/<\/.+?>/g) || [];           // Get remaining closing tags

  return openingTags.length === closingTags.length ? true : false;
}

var htmlContent = "
your html content goes here
" // Note: String without any html tag will consider as valid html snippet. If it’s not valid in your case, in that case you can check opening tag count first.

if(validHTML(htmlContent)) {
  alert('Valid HTML')
}
else {
  alert('Invalid HTML');
}
