Node.js - parse html to DOM with htmlparser2 library
7 points
In this short article, we would like to show how in Node.js parse HTML to Simple DOM - it is not real DOM but is enough in many cases giving good parser performance (check performance section).
Note: the main advantage of this library is portability (Works in any JavaScript - even with React and SSR)
