I am running some code in NodeJS to remove script tags before executing the scripts. Is there a simple way to do something similar in a browser environment?

import cheerio from "cheerio";

export async function removeScripts(serializedSvg: string): Promise<string> {
  const $ = cheerio.load(serializedSvg, {
    xmlMode: true,
    decodeEntities: false,
  });

  Array.from($("script")).forEach((el: CheerioElement) => {
    $(el).remove();
  });

  return $.xml();
}

  • afaik, cheerio is basically core jQuery for node. So just look up how to parse xml with jQuery and parts of your code can be used 1:1. Commented May 15, 2020 at 9:52
