Get Document object from the Response of fetch API

[horo-t]

We can get Document object using XMLHttpRequest by setting responseType='document'.
But we can't get Document object from the Response object of fetch API.

Is there any plan to support this?

No. We don't want to depend on HTML or XML from the "Fetch module".

I think it is good for performance to support parsing DOM while receiving new data.
XMLHttpRequest can do so.

Can we do so by passing the Response object to the Document object?

[annevk]

I don't necessarily disagree. The idea was to introduce asynchronous parser APIs. I think it would be convenient if those supported Request/Response-like objects.

Closing this as it was answered in whatwg/fetch#16
