NAME

HTML5::DOM - Super fast html5 DOM library with css selectors (based on Modest/MyHTML)

SYNOPSIS

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

# create parser object
my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

# parse some html
my $tree = $parser->parse('
 <label>Some list of OS:</label>
 <ul class="list" data-what="os" title="OS list">
    <li>UNIX</li>
    <li>Linux</li>
    <!-- comment -->
    <li>OSX</li>
    <li>Windows</li>
    <li>FreeBSD</li>
 </ul>
');

# find one element by CSS selector
my $ul = $tree->at('ul.list');

# prints tag
print $ul->tag."\n"; # ul

# check if <ul> has class list
print "<ul> has class .list\n" if ($ul->classList->has('list'));

# add some class
$ul->classList->add('os-list');

# prints <ul> classes
print $ul->className."\n"; # list os-list

# prints <ul> attribute title
print $ul->attr("title")."\n"; # OS list

# changing <ul> attribute title
$ul->attr("title", "OS names list");

# find all os names
$ul->find('li')->each(sub {
 my ($node, $index) = @_;
 print "OS #$index: ".$node->text."\n";
});

# we can use precompiled selectors
my $css_parser = HTML5::DOM::CSS->new;
my $selector = $css_parser->parseSelector('li');

# remove OSX from OS
$ul->find($selector)->[2]->remove();

# serialize tree
print $tree->html."\n";

# TODO: more examples in SYNOPSIS
# But you can explore API documentation.
# My lib have simple API, which is intuitively familiar to anyone who used the DOM.

DESCRIPTION

HTML5::DOM is a fast HTML5 parser and DOM manipulatin library with CSS4 selectors, fully conformant with the HTML5 specification.

It based on https://github.com/lexborisov/Modest as selector engine and https://github.com/lexborisov/myhtml as HTML5 parser.

Key features

  • Really fast HTML parsing.

  • Supports parsing by chunks.

  • Fully conformant with the HTML5 specification.

  • Fast CSS4 selectors.

  • Any manipulations using DOM-like API.

  • Auto-detect input encoding.

  • Fully integration in perl and memory management. You don't care about "free" or "destroy".

  • Supports async parsing, with optional event-loop intergration.

  • Perl utf8-enabled strings supports (See "WORK WITH UTF8" for details.)

HTML5::DOM

HTML5 parser object.

new

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser;

# with default options
$parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

# or override some options, if you need
$parser = HTML5::DOM->new({
   threads                 => 0,
   ignore_whitespace       => 0, 
   ignore_doctype          => 0, 
   scripts                 => 0, 
   encoding                => "auto", 
   default_encoding        => "UTF-8", 
   encoding_use_meta       => 1, 
   encoding_use_bom        => 1, 
   encoding_prescan_limit  => 1024
});

Creates new parser object with options. See "PARSER OPTIONS" for details.

parse

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

my $html = '<div>Hello world!</div>';

my $tree;

# parsing with options defined in HTML5::DOM->new
$tree = $parser->parse($html);

# parsing with custom options (extends options defined in HTML5::DOM->new)
$tree = $parser->parse($html, {
    scripts     => 0, 
});

Parse html string and return HTML5::DOM::Tree object.

parseChunkStart

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

# start chunked parsing with options defined in HTML5::DOM->new
# call parseChunkStart without options is useless, 
# because first call of parseChunk automatically call parseChunkStart. 
$parser->parseChunkStart();

# start chunked parsing with custom options (extends options defined in HTML5::DOM->new)
$parser->parseChunkStart({
   scripts     => 0, 
});

Init chunked parsing. See "PARSER OPTIONS" for details.

parseChunk

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

$parser->parseChunkStart()->parseChunk('<')->parseChunk('di')->parseChunk('v>');

Parse chunk of html stream.

parseChunkTree

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

# start some chunked parsing
$parser->parseChunk('<')->parseChunk('di')->parseChunk('v>');

# get current tree
my $tree = $parser->parseChunkTree;

print $tree->html."\n"; # <html><head></head><body><div></div></body></html>

# more parse html
$parser->parseChunk('<div class="red">red div?</div>');

print $tree->html."\n"; # <html><head></head><body><div><div class="red">red div?</div></div></body></html>

# end parsing
$parser->parseChunkEnd();

print $tree->html."\n"; # <html><head></head><body><div><div class="red">red div?</div></div></body></html>

Return current HTML5::DOM::Tree object (live result of all calls parseChunk).

parseChunkEnd

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

# start some chunked parsing
$parser->parseChunk('<')->parseChunk('di')->parseChunk('v>');

# end parsing and get tree
my $tree = $parser->parseChunkEnd();

print $tree->html; # <html><head></head><body><div></div></body></html>

Completes chunked parsing and return HTML5::DOM::Tree object.

parseAsync

Parsing html in background thread. Can use with different ways:

1. Manual wait parsing completion when you need.

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

my $html = '<div>Hello world!</div>';

my $async;

# start async parsing
$async = $parser->parseAsync($html);

# or with options
$async = $parser->parseAsync($html, { scripts => 0 });

# ...do some work...

# wait for parsing done
my $tree = $async->wait;

# work with tree
print $tree->html;

$async->wait returns HTML5::DOM::AsyncResult object.

2. Non-blocking check for parsing completion.

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;

my $html = '<div>Hello world!</div>';

my $tree;
my $async;

# start async parsing
$async = $parser->parseAsync($html);

# or with options
$async = $parser->parseAsync($html, { scripts => 0 });

while (!$async->parsed) {
    # do some work
}
$tree = $async->tree; # HTML5::DOM::Tree
# work with $tree
print $tree->root->at('div')->text."\n"; # Hello world!

# or another way

# start async parsing
$async = $parser->parseAsync($html);

# or with options
$async = $parser->parseAsync($html, { scripts => 0 });

while (!($tree = $async->tree)) {
    # do some work
}
# work with $tree
print $tree->root->at('div')->text."\n"; # Hello world!

$async->parsed returns 1 if parsing done. Else returns 0.

$async->tree returns HTML5::DOM::Tree object if parsing done. Else returns undef.

3. Intergation with EV

Required packages (only if you want use event loop):

use warnings;
use strict;
use EV;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;
my $html = '<div>Hello world!</div>';

my $custom_options = { scripts => 0 };

$parser->parseAsync($html, $custom_options, sub {
    my $tree = shift;
    # work with $tree
    print $tree->root->at('div')->text."\n"; # Hello world!
});

# do some work

EV::loop;

Function returns HTML5::DOM::AsyncResult object.

$tree in callback is a HTML5::DOM::Tree object.

4. Intergation with custom event-loop (example with AnyEvent loop)

use warnings;
use strict;
use AnyEvent;
use AnyEvent::Util;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;
my $html = '<div>Hello world!</div>';

my $custom_options = { scripts => 0 };

# create pipe
my ($r, $w) = AnyEvent::Util::portable_pipe();
AnyEvent::fh_unblock $r;

# fd for parseAsync communications
my $write_fd = fileno($w);

# after parsing complete module writes to $write_fd:
# value "1" - if success
# value "0" - if error
my $async = $parser->parseAsync($html, $custom_options, $write_fd);

# watch for value
my $async_watcher;
$async_watcher = AE::io $r, 0, sub {
    <$r>; # read "1" or "0"
    $async_watcher = undef; # destroy watcher
    
    # work with $tree
    my $tree = $async->wait;
    print $tree->root->at('div')->text."\n"; # Hello world!
};

# ...do some work...

AE::cv->recv;

$tree in callback is a HTML5::DOM::Tree object.

innerHTML

outerHTML

  • HTML serialization of the node's descendants.

    my $html = $node->html;
    my $html = $node->outerHTML;

    Example:

    my $tree = HTML5::DOM->new->parse('<div id="test">some <b>bold</b> test</div>');
    print $tree->getElementById('test')->outerHTML;   # <div id="test">some <b>bold</b> test</div>
    print $tree->createComment(' test ')->outerHTML;  # <!-- test -->
    print $tree->createTextNode('test')->outerHTML;   # test
  • HTML serialization of the node and its descendants.

    # serialize descendants, without node
    my $html = $node->innerHTML;

    Example:

    my $tree = HTML5::DOM->new->parse('<div id="test">some <b>bold</b> test</div>');
    print $tree->getElementById('test')->innerHTML;   # some <b>bold</b> test
    print $tree->createComment(' test ')->innerHTML;  # <!-- test -->
    print $tree->createTextNode('test')->innerHTML;   # test
  • Removes all of the element's descendants and replaces them with nodes constructed by parsing the HTML given in the string $new_html.

    # parse fragment and replace child nodes with it
    my $html = $node->html($new_html);
    my $html = $node->innerHTML($new_html);

    Example:

    my $tree = HTML5::DOM->new->parse('<div id="test">some <b>bold</b> test</div>');
    print $tree->at('#test')->innerHTML('<i>italic</i>');
    print $tree->body->innerHTML;  # <div id="test"><i>italic</i></div>
  • HTML serialization of entire document

    my $html = $tree->document->html;
    my $html = $tree->document->outerHTML;

    Example:

    my $tree = HTML5::DOM->new->parse('<!DOCTYPE html><div id="test">some <b>bold</b> test</div>');
    print $tree->document->outerHTML;   # <!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body><div id="test">some <b>bold</b> test</div></body></html>
  • Replaces the element and all of its descendants with a new DOM tree constructed by parsing the specified $new_html.

    # parse fragment and node in parent node childs with it
    my $html = $node->outerHTML($new_html);

    Example:

    my $tree = HTML5::DOM->new->parse('<div id="test">some <b>bold</b> test</div>');
    print $tree->at('#test')->outerHTML('<i>italic</i>');
    print $tree->body->innerHTML;  # <i>italic</i>

PARSER OPTIONS

Options for:

threads

Threads count, if < 2 - parsing in single mode without threads (default 0)

This option affects only for HTML5::DOM::new.

Originaly, MyHTML can use mulithread parsing.

But in real cases this mode slower than single mode (threads=0). Result speed very OS-specific and depends on input html.

Not recommended use if don't known what you do. Single mode faster in 99.9% cases.

ignore_whitespace

Ignore whitespace tokens (default 0)

ignore_doctype

Do not parse DOCTYPE (default 0)

scripts

If 1 - <noscript> contents parsed to single text node (default)

If 0 - <noscript> contents parsed to child nodes

encoding

Encoding of input HTML, if auto - library can tree to automaticaly determine encoding. (default "auto")

Allowed both encoding name or id.

default_encoding

Default encoding, this affects only if encoding set to auto and encoding not determined. (default "UTF-8")

Allowed both encoding name or id.

See for available encodings: "ENCODINGS"

encoding_use_meta

Allow use <meta> tags to determine input HTML encoding. (default 1)

See detectByPrescanStream.

encoding_prescan_limit

Limit string length to determine encoding by <meta> tags. (default 1024, from spec)

See detectByPrescanStream.

encoding_use_bom

Allow use detecding BOM to determine input HTML encoding. (default 1)

See detectBomAndCut.

utf8

Default: "auto"

If 1, then all returned strings have utf8 flag (chars).

If 0, then all returned strings haven't utf8 flag (bytes).

If "auto", then utf8 flag detected by input string. Automaticaly enables utf8=1 if input string have utf8 flag.

"auto" works only in parse, parseChunk, parseAsync methods.

CSS PARSER OPTIONS

Options for:

utf8

Default: "auto"

If 1, then all returned strings have utf8 flag (chars).

If 0, then all returned strings haven't utf8 flag (bytes).

If "auto", then utf8 flag detected by input string. Automaticaly enables utf8=1 if input string have utf8 flag.

WORK WITH UTF8

In normal cases you must don't care about utf8. Everything works out of the box.

By default utf8 mode enabled automaticaly if you specify string with utf8 flag.

For example:

Perfect work with use utf8:

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;
use utf8;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;
my $str = HTML5::DOM->new->parse('<b>тест тест</b>')->at('b')->text;
print "length=".length($str)." [$str]\n"; # length=9 [тест тест]

Perfect work without use utf8:

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

# Perfect work with default mode of perl strings (bytes)
my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new;
my $str = HTML5::DOM->new->parse('<b>тест тест</b>')->at('b')->text;
print "length=".length($str)." [$str]\n"; # length=17 [тест тест]

# You can pass string with utf8 flag without "use utf8" and it perfect works
use Encode;
my $test = '<b>тест тест</b>';
Encode::_utf8_on($test);

$str = HTML5::DOM->new->parse($test)->at('b')->text;
print "length=".length($str)." [$str]\n"; # length=9 [тест тест]

But you can override this behavior - see "PARSER OPTIONS" for details.

Force use bytes:

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;
use utf8;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new({ utf8 => 0 });
my $str = $parser->parse('<b>тест тест</b>')->at('b')->text;
print "length=".length($str)." [$str]\n"; # length=17 [тест тест]

Force use utf8:

use warnings;
use strict;
use HTML5::DOM;

my $parser = HTML5::DOM->new({ utf8 => 1 });
my $str = $parser->parse('<b>тест тест</b>')->at('b')->text;
print "length=".length($str)." [$str]\n"; # length=13 [тест тест]
