How to Convert an HTML String to XML DOM

Question

I am using HTTP client 4.1.2.I want to access outlook web and get mails data.Here is the code which I have done.

CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
    credsProvider.setCredentials(new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY_HOST,         
            AuthScope.ANY_PORT,AuthScope.ANY_REALM, AuthPolicy.BASIC),
    new UsernamePasswordCredentials(Username, password));
DefaultHttpClient Client= new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();

 HttpGet get= new HttpGet(uri);
 HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();

String html=null;   
if(!entity.equals(null)){
html=EntityUtils.toString(entity,HTTP.UTF_8);
}

The output is HTML page in the from of String.How can I convert this into XML?

Technically speaking, well formed HTML is a form of XML, or at least that's the goal any way.

But we're talking Microsoft here...

I use Cobra to interact with HTML as if it was XML, allowing me to use things like xPath to search the document or just access the plain old DOM.

If you use Cobra (and the HTML is well formed) you already do (have the DOM) ... and yes ...
