How to convert a string to an XML Document in JavaScript?
To convert a string to an XML Document in JavaScript, we can use the DOMParser constructor.
For instance, we write:
const xmlString = '<foo><bar>something</bar></foo>';
const parser = new DOMParser();
const xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(xmlString, "application/xml");
console.log(xmlDoc)
We create a new DOMParser instance.
And then we call parseFromString with the xmlString and the 'application/xml' MIME type to parse the string as XML.
Therefore, xmlDoc is an XML document converted from the string.
Conclusion
To convert a string to an XML Document in JavaScript, we can use the DOMParser constructor.
