from jquery-2.1.3

tmp = new DOMParser(); xml = tmp.parseFromString( data, "text/xml" );

and jquery-3.5.1

xml = ( new window.DOMParser() ).parseFromString( data, "text/xml" );

What is the difference?

Without any doubt, new version always comes with fixes, optimizations and improvements, therefore, I would recommend to use newer version.
As @satya has already mentioned that it improves memory management and optimized one.

Both are same. Second one is simpler, short and improved. In terms of memory and simplicity second one is better.

Both are same. The only difference that i can see is, in first case you are creating two local variable and in second , just one. In terms of memory management second one is better.

both are exactly the same ,
jquery v2 and v3 have some breaking changes when it comes to dynamic elements
for example $("
")
This code in jQuery < 3.5 would produce two separate HTML elements
```
<div>div>
<input/>
```
Since jQuery 3.5.0 the same code produces nested elements.
```
<div><input/>div>
```
apart from that i don't find any change between predefined methods of jquery and dom.
