# 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`
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
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`.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/xml-parse-from-string)
|
|
|
|
#### `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.
