DOM Parser not working in IDJS script

[Harihara28692478zxj6]

Hi All,

I'm developing the UXP scripts for InDesign. While reading the HTML file, we use a DOM Parser to read the HTML file.

our UXP is not supporting to read the DOM parser. Kindly any one resolve this and will appreciate. 

//======================================

const file = await ufs.getFileForOpening({mode: uxpfs.modes.readWrite, type: "file"});

const text = await file.read({format: formats.utf8});

if (window.DOMParser) {
const parser = new DOMParser();

var manifest = parser.parseFromString(text, "text/xml");

}

//==================================

Thanks & Regards,

Harihara Sudhan T R.,

Seems DOMParser is not available to UXP. Untill this is implemented by Adobe I suppose you will have to rely on alternate means. I am not sure if we can use node packages with UXP, if we can then you can look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/dom-parser

The following link talks about using nodejs packages with UXP

Could be possible, but you will have to test it

That's the old documentation page for XD, the newer page is here: https://developer.adobe.com/xd/uxp/develop/plugin-development/javascript-and-xd/javascript-support/

That said, have you tried this with InDesign 18.5? It just came out in prerelease and has many more UXP features...
