[hast][] utility that turns HTML into a syntax tree, using browser APIs
when available, so it has a smaller bundle size there.

## What is this?

This package is a utility that takes HTML input and turns it into a hast syntax
tree.

In a browser, this uses [`hast-util-from-dom`][hast-util-from-dom],
otherwise it uses [`hast-util-from-html`][hast-util-from-html].

## When should I use this?

If you want to get a syntax tree without positional info, and your code should
be isomorphic (it could run anywhere), as it results in a smaller bundle size.

If you need positional information, use
[`hast-util-from-html`][hast-util-from-html].

If you don’t care about positional info and your code only runs in browsers,
use [`hast-util-from-dom`][hast-util-from-dom].

Finally you can use the utility [`hast-util-to-html`][hast-util-to-html],
or [`hast-util-to-dom`][hast-util-to-dom] with `.outerHTML`, to do the inverse
of this utility.
That turns hast into HTML.

## Install

This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:

```sh
npm install hast-util-from-html-isomorphic
```

In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```js
import {fromHtmlIsomorphic} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-html-isomorphic@2'
```

In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esmsh]:

```html
<script type="module">
  import {fromHtmlIsomorphic} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-from-html-isomorphic@2?bundle'
</script>
```

## Use

```js
import {fromHtmlIsomorphic} from 'hast-util-from-html-isomorphic'

const tree = fromHtmlIsomorphic('<h1>Hello, world!</h1>', {fragment: true})

console.log(tree)
```

Yields (positional info and data omitted for brevity):

```js
{
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {
      type: 'element',
      tagName: 'h1',
      properties: {},
      children: [Array],
    }
  ]
}
```

## API

This package exports the identifier
[`fromHtmlIsomorphic`][api-from-html-isomorphic].
There is no default export.

### `fromHtmlIsomorphic(value[, options])`

Turn serialized HTML into a hast tree.

###### Parameters

*   `value` (`string`)
    — serialized HTML to parse
*   `options` ([`Options`][api-options], optional)
    — configuration

###### Returns

Tree ([`Root`][root]).

### `Options`

Configuration (TypeScript type).

##### Fields

###### `fragment`

Whether to parse as a fragment (`boolean`, default: `false`).
The default is to expect a whole document.
In document mode, unopened `html`, `head`, and `body` elements are opened.

## Examples

### Example: fragment versus document

The following example shows the difference between parsing as a document and
parsing as a fragment:

```js
import {fromHtml} from 'hast-util-from-html-isomorphic'

const doc = '<title>Hi!</title><h1>Hello!</h1>'

console.log(fromHtml(doc))

console.log(fromHtml(doc, {fragment: true}))
```

…yields (positional info and data omitted for brevity):

```js
{
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {type: 'element', tagName: 'html', properties: {}, children: [Array]}
  ]
}
```

```js
{
  type: 'root',
  children: [
    {type: 'element', tagName: 'title', properties: {}, children: [Array]},
    {type: 'element', tagName: 'h1', properties: {}, children: [Array]}
  ]
}
```

> 👉 **Note**: observe that when a whole document is expected (first example),
> missing elements are opened and closed.

## Syntax

HTML is parsed according to WHATWG HTML (the living standard), which is also
followed by browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.

## Types

This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports the additional type [`Options`][api-options].

## Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
`hast-util-from-html-isomorphic@^1`, compatible with Node.js 16.

## Security

Parsing HTML is safe but using user-provided content can open you up to a
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attack.
Use [`hast-util-santize`][hast-util-sanitize] to make the hast tree safe.
