# YUI Library Examples: DataType Utility: DataType.XML.parse()

Note: This is YUI 3.x. Looking for YUI 2.x?

## DataType Utility: DataType.XML.parse()

The XML module of the DataType Utility allows you to take a string and convert it to an XML document.

View example in new window.

String to parse: <myroot><item type='foo'><name>Abc</name><rank>1</rank></item><item type='bar'><name>Def</name><rank>2</rank></item><item type='bat'><name>Ghi</name><rank>3</rank></item></myroot>

To convert a string to an XML document, simply call the `parse()` function of the DataType.Number class:

YUI().use("datatype-xml", function(Y) { var output = Y.DataType.XML.parse("<myroot><item type='foo'><name>Abc</name><rank>1</rank></item><item type='bar'><name>Def</name><rank>2</rank></item><item type='bat'><name>Ghi</name><rank>3</rank></item></myroot>"); // output is an XML document });
