@64kb Yes, there's a parse-html function in the XPath 4 functions and operators draft.
XSLT and XPath 3, from 2017, can already parse JSON.
XSLT is a functional language for manipulating primarily tree-structured data and information, such as you might find in XML or JSON or HTML for example.
Someone recently asked me for an XSLT course that includes XSLT 4; usually i teach XSLT 3, the latest, but 4 is in preparation. It's not quite ready for production use, but if you want to be ahead of the curve the course might go ahead in the next month or two.
DM if interested.
XSLT 3 course coming up in February (i know, i knmow, postponed from earlier), first one in over a year.

Main #XSLT3 course likely in 2nd or 3rd week of January.
This is an intense dive into a functional, declarative, pattern-oriented language with implicit dispatch... but ignore the jargon, throw it away, burn down the rules, and emerge as an XSLT Jedi star.
