how to get a document object from a given url in node js

Question

How can I using only Node.js API get a document of a given URL to work with. Here is a snippet of what i come up with :

var needHttp  = require('http');

var getAllFromSite = function ( siteUrl, tag) 
{

var requestToURL = needHttp.get( siteUrl, function (responseFromURL) {

responseFromURL. SOMEHOWgetDOCUMENT...
  }); 

}

So far I've found this, but still it needs DOMParser which I could't find:

function getSourceAsDOM(url)
{
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,false);
xmlhttp.send();
parser=new DOMParser();
return parser.parseFromString(xmlhttp.responseText,"text/html");
}
