javascript - shorten axios text/html response

Question

I am sending an Axios request to a web page for scraping a little string off of it, but the returned response is a large html, and I only need a little part of it, is there a way to somehow shorten the response so I can save data and make the request faster?

const longHtml = await axios.get('https://example.com');
const shortHtml = longHtml.data //get short data here

Answer 1

If I understand what your trying to do, you wan't to stop the request when you find the data you want, you could use htmlparser2 and feed it a stream from axios and then register listeners and when you get the element you need you can end the stream.
