NoBugs answer above did not work with a current chrome for me. I suggest:

var sMyString = "hey!<\/b><\/a>";
var oParser = new DOMParser();
var oDOM = oParser.parseFromString(sMyString, "text/xml");
dump(oDOM.getElementsByTagName('parsererror').length ? 
     (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(oDOM) : "all good"    
);
