Possible to execute Sightly Parsing on a String returned by a service?

Question

I'm looking to see if it is possible to get a string of HTML from a service and execute the sightly parser on that string. We have a service layer that returns HTML and I'd like to be able to have sightly markup within that HTML for processing. For example using i18n ${'key', @i18n}.

I've tried wrapping the HTML returned in a sightly template and then calling it within my sightly component but unfortunately it did not work.

The best practice to handle DOM parsing when writing a Sightly component is to have the Java logic (part of the Sightly component) handle the parsing.

You can use a Java API to handle the logic - such as JSOUP API. Sighly is for displaying data - not for manipulating data like DOM parsing. It way better to handle that on the Java side.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I figured as well, was just hoping to leverage what was already there. Appreciate the input.
