Create a DOM document from a string

[Gonzalo Chumillas]

Hello Everybody,

I can't figure out how to create a DOM document from a string. It is very straightforward in PHP:

// creates a new DOM document from a string
$doc = new DOMDocument("1.0", "UTF-8");
$doc->loadXML($string);

But I have no idea how to do this in Dart, using the native functions and classes.

Thanks.

Client or server and for what purpose?

Have a look at https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/html5lib

Maybe a DocumentFragment is good enough for your needs?

https://api.dartlang.org/apidocs/channels/stable/dartdoc-viewer/dart:html.DocumentFragment

void main() {

  String html = '''

    <span id="foo">Foo in a span</span>

  ''';

  SpanElement span = new DocumentFragment.html(html).querySelector('#foo');

  print(span.text);

}

Try DomParser.parseFromString

Thanks so much. That's what I was looking for.
