xml-parse-from-string
A light browser wrapper around DOMParser.parseFromString for XML, with fallback for IE8 and other browsers.
- attempts to use DOMParser with
"application/xml" - falls back to
ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM') - then falls back to
createElement/innerHTML
var parseXML = require('xml-parse-from-string')
var str = '<root><foobar id="blah"></foobar></root>'
var doc = parseXML(str)
var tag = doc.getElementsByTagName('foobar')[0]
console.log(tag.getAttribute('id')) // -> "blah"
Be wary of subtle differences between implementations, such as case-sensitivity in attribute.nodeName.
PRs for Node version welcome.
Usage
root = parse(str)
Parses the string as XML and returns the root element as a DOM element, so you can do operations similar to document.getElementById, document.getElementsByTagName, and so forth.
