angular $http vs jquery $ajax - dataType for angular?

Question

How can I set the ajax return data type in angular? For instance I can set it easily in jquery if I want the response data to be html.

jquery,

$.ajax({
  url: "script.php",
  type: "GET",
  dataType: "html"
});

angular,

$http({
  method: "get",
  url: "script.php",
  responseType: "html" // does not work
}).then(function(response) {
  $scope.form = response.data;
);

It always returns string or json but what about html or xml?

what exactly you are trying to do?? – vaibhav kulkarni Dec 13 '14 at 10:53 — vaibhav kulkarni, Dec 13 '14 at 10:53

`document` returns an object. angular 'sucks' despite it is a perfect mvc. – Run Dec 13 '14 at 07:38

Oh, I suppose we'd have to settle for just plain text and find a way to parse it into `html` manually. – budhajeewa Dec 13 '14 at 07:42
