How to build a virtual tree from string of HTML?

In the README, there's a section on building a virtual tree from a DSL:

Constructing a virtual tree

There is a built-in function for creating virtual elements:

import el from 'skatejs-dom-diff/vdom/element';

el('div', null,
  'Hello, ',
  el('span', { style: 'font-weight: bold'}, 'World!')
);

Is there anything like that, but where I can just pass in a string of HTML? For example:

<html><head></head><body>This is just an example</body></html>

I'd like to turn that string into a vtree from data fetched from the server remotely.

I could write something that does this, but it'd take time to make sure the various edgecases that I'm sure exist are properly handled.

There currently isn't something like that.

Also, we haven't been very active in this repo as of late. Skate is currently using Incremental DOM for rendering, but I've been thinking about allowing custom renderers to be specified. I still like the idea of this repo because it can diff dom -> dom, dom -> vdom, vdom -> dom and vdom -> vdom.

I'd be open to proposals for it, though, I'm not sure we'd have the capacity to implement it. FWIW I still use this library off and on, and it appears some others might be.

Would this need to be performant?

I no longer need this myself but maybe others will. Sorry for taking up
your time with this.
