In nodejs, you cannot use the DOMParser.
## JSDom
> [!info] read more
> [jsdom - npm (npmjs.com)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsdom)
## Basic Usage
```js
const jsdom = require("jsdom");
const { JSDOM } = jsdom;
```
To use jsdom, you will primarily use the `JSDOM` constructor, which is a named export of the jsdom main module. Pass the constructor a string. You will get back a `JSDOM` object, which has a number of useful properties, notably `window`:
```js
const dom = new JSDOM(`<!DOCTYPE html><p>Hello world</p>`);
console.log(dom.window.document.querySelector("p").textContent); // "Hello world"
```
(Note that jsdom will parse the HTML you pass it just like a browser does, including implied `<html>`, `<head>`, and `<body>` tags.)
The resulting object is an instance of the `JSDOM` class, which contains a number of useful properties and methods besides `window`. In general, it can be used to act on the jsdom from the "outside," doing things that are not possible with the normal DOM APIs. For simple cases, where you don't need any of this functionality, we recommend a coding pattern like
```js
const { window } = new JSDOM(`...`);
// or even
const { document } = (new JSDOM(`...`)).window;
```
Full documentation on everything you can do with the `JSDOM` class is below, in the section "`JSDOM` Object API".
## Html Parser
[fb55/htmlparser2: The fast & forgiving HTML and XML parser (github.com)](https://github.com/fb55/htmlparser2)
## [Cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio)
> [!danger] I once tried tried this and this package is extremely buggy. I don't suggest using this.
```js
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const $ = cheerio.load('<h2 class="title">Hello world</h2>');
$('h2.title').text('Hello there!');
$('h2').addClass('welcome');
$.html();
//=> <html><head></head><body><h2 class="title welcome">Hello there!</h2></body></html>
```
### [Features](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio#features)
**❤ Proven syntax:** Cheerio implements a subset of core jQuery. Cheerio removes all the DOM inconsistencies and browser cruft from the jQuery library, revealing its truly gorgeous API.
**ϟ Blazingly fast:** Cheerio works with a very simple, consistent DOM model. As a result parsing, manipulating, and rendering are incredibly efficient.
**❁ Incredibly flexible:** Cheerio wraps around [parse5](https://github.com/inikulin/parse5) for parsing HTML and can optionally use the forgiving [htmlparser2](https://github.com/fb55/htmlparser2/). Cheerio can parse nearly any HTML or XML document. Cheerio works in both browser and server environments.
