A JavaScript parser for DOM

Question

We have a special requirement in a project where we have to parse a string of HTML (from an AJAX response) client side via JavaScript only. Thats right

Answer 1

You can leverage the current document without appending any nodes to it.

Try something like this:

function toNode(html) {
    var doc = document.createElement('html');
    doc.innerHTML = html;
    return doc;
}

var node = toNode('');

console.log(node);​
