How to make XMLDocument from a string?

Is there a way to make an XMLDocument from a string? I want to do
something like this

  XMLDocument new parseDocumentFrom: '<root><child>wah</child></root>'

but #parseDocumentFrom: takes a stream as an argument. I tried
creating a TextStream from the string, then a ReadStream on that, but
that didn't work.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Bob,

I haven't use the XML libraries but I believe you could obtain the
ReadStream from the String by sending #readStream which is understood by
all SequenceableCollection subclasses.

    XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: '<root><child>wah</child></root>'
readStream

You can also construct the ReadStream yourself from the String.

    XMLDOMParser parseDocumentFrom: (ReadStream on:
'<root><child>wah</child></root>')

In my image XMLDocument doesn't understand #parseDocumentFrom do I've
used XMLDOMParser but I'm sure you get the picture.

I think TextStream is used for something completely different and is not
needed here. I hope I've understood your question.
