You could do $.parseXML() to convert the string to an XML document and then run DOM manipulation using jQuery

var XML= $.parseXML(data);
var title = $(XML).find('h1').text(); //Get the text inside h1 tags.
$(XML).find('h1').remove(); // Remove the h1 tags

You can wrap the contents into a dummy element, get that element and then use find to find the content you are looking for:

var data = "<h1> Title </h1>";    
console.log($(data).wrap('<div />').parent().find('h1 ').text()); // Title

var data = "sssssss  <h1> Title </h1> aaaaaaaaaa";    
console.log($(data).wrap('<div />').parent().find('h1').text()); //Title

The wrapping is useful if the data isn't perhaps wrapped inside an element already.

Something like this:

var title = $(data).text();

Or like this:

data = data.replace(/<\/?[^>]+>/gi, '');
