example.js

var str = '<span class="badge badge-success" style="cursor:default" title="Local Dispatch">L</span>';

var parent = document.createElement("div");
parent.innerHTML = str;

console.log(parent.firstChild.className);

// or with JQuery
console.log($(str).prop('class'));

<?php
$str = '<span class="badge badge-success" style="cursor:default" title="Local Dispatch">L</span>';

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($str);
var_dump((string) $xml->attributes()['class']);
