NAME

Mojo::DOM58 - Minimalistic HTML/XML DOM parser with CSS selectors

SYNOPSIS

  use Mojo::DOM58;

  # Parse
  my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new('<div><p id="a">Test</p><p id="b">123</p></div>');

  # Find
  say $dom->at('#b')->text;
  say $dom->find('p')->map('text')->join("\n");
  say $dom->find('[id]')->map(attr => 'id')->join("\n");

  # Iterate
  $dom->find('p[id]')->reverse->each(sub { say $_->{id} });

  # Loop
  for my $e ($dom->find('p[id]')->each) {
    say $e->{id}, ':', $e->text;
  }

  # Modify
  $dom->find('div p')->last->append('<p id="c">456</p>');
  $dom->find(':not(p)')->map('strip');

  # Render
  say "$dom";

DESCRIPTION

Mojo::DOM58 is a minimalistic and relaxed pure-perl HTML/XML DOM parser based on Mojo::DOM. It supports the HTML Living Standard and Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0, and matching based on CSS3 selectors. It will even try to interpret broken HTML and XML, so you should not use it for validation.

FORK INFO

Mojo::DOM58 is a fork of Mojo::DOM and tracks features and fixes to stay closely compatible with upstream. It differs only in the standalone format and compatibility with Perl 5.8. Any bugs or patches not related to these changes should be reported directly to the Mojolicious issue tracker.

This release of Mojo::DOM58 is up to date with version 7.36 of Mojolicious.

NODES AND ELEMENTS

When we parse an HTML/XML fragment, it gets turned into a tree of nodes.

  <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html>
    <head><title>Hello</title></head>
    <body>World!</body>
  </html>

There are currently eight different kinds of nodes, cdata, comment, doctype, pi, raw, root, tag and text. Elements are nodes of the type tag.

  root
  |- doctype (html)
  +- tag (html)
     |- tag (head)
     |  +- tag (title)
     |     +- raw (Hello)
     +- tag (body)
        +- text (World!)

While all node types are represented as Mojo::DOM58 objects, some methods like "attr" and "namespace" only apply to elements.

CASE-SENSITIVITY

Mojo::DOM58 defaults to HTML semantics, that means all tags and attribute names are lowercased and selectors need to be lowercase as well.

  # HTML semantics
  my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new('<P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
  say $dom->at('p[id]')->text;

If an XML declaration is found, the parser will automatically switch into XML mode and everything becomes case-sensitive.

  # XML semantics
  my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new('<?xml version="1.0"?><P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
  say $dom->at('P[ID]')->text;

HTML or XML semantics can also be forced with the "xml" method.

  # Force HTML semantics
  my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new->xml(0)->parse('<P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
  say $dom->at('p[id]')->text;

  # Force XML semantics
  my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new->xml(1)->parse('<P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
  say $dom->at('P[ID]')->text;

SELECTORS

Mojo::DOM58 uses a CSS selector engine based on Mojo::DOM::CSS. All CSS selectors that make sense for a standalone parser are supported.

*

Any element.

  my $all = $dom->find('*');

E

An element of type E.

  my $title = $dom->at('title');

E[foo]

An E element with a foo attribute.

  my $links = $dom->find('a[href]');

E[foo="bar"]

An E element whose foo attribute value is exactly equal to bar.

  my $case_sensitive = $dom->find('input[type="hidden"]');
  my $case_sensitive = $dom->find('input[type=hidden]');

E[foo="bar" i]

An E element whose foo attribute value is exactly equal to any (ASCII-range) case-permutation of bar. Note that this selector is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

  my $case_insensitive = $dom->find('input[type="hidden" i]');
  my $case_insensitive = $dom->find('input[type=hidden i]');
  my $case_insensitive = $dom->find('input[class~="foo" i]');

This selector is part of Selectors Level 4, which is still a work in progress.

E[foo~="bar"]

An E element whose foo attribute value is a list of whitespace-separated values, one of which is exactly equal to bar.

  my $foo = $dom->find('input[class~="foo"]');
  my $foo = $dom->find('input[class~=foo]');

E[foo^="bar"]

An E element whose foo attribute value begins exactly with the string bar.

  my $begins_with = $dom->find('input[name^="f"]');
  my $begins_with = $dom->find('input[name^=f]');

E[foo$="bar"]

An E element whose foo attribute value ends exactly with the string bar.

  my $ends_with = $dom->find('input[name$="o"]');
  my $ends_with = $dom->find('input[name$=o]');

E[foo*="bar"]

An E element whose foo attribute value contains the substring bar.

  my $contains = $dom->find('input[name*="fo"]');
  my $contains = $dom->find('input[name*=fo]');

E:root

  my $root = $dom->at(':root');

E:nth-child(n)

An E element, the n-th child of its parent.

  my $third = $dom->find('div:nth-child(3)');
  my $odd   = $dom->find('div:nth-child(odd)');
  my $even  = $dom->find('div:nth-child(even)');
  my $top3  = $dom->find('div:nth-child(-n+3)');

E:nth-last-child(n)

An E element, the n-th child of its parent, counting from the last one.

  my $third    = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(3)');
  my $odd      = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(odd)');
  my $even     = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(even)');
  my $bottom3  = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(-n+3)');

E:nth-of-type(n)

An E element, the n-th sibling of its type.

  my $third = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(3)');
  my $odd   = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(odd)');
  my $even  = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(even)');
  my $top3  = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(-n+3)');

  my $even     = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(even)');
  my $bottom3  = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(-n+3)');

E:first-child

  my $first = $dom->find('div p:first-child');

E:last-child

An E element, last child of its parent.

  my $last = $dom->find('div p:last-child');

  my $last = $dom->find('div p:last-of-type');

E:only-child

An E element, only child of its parent.

  my $lonely = $dom->find('div p:only-child');

Support for compound selectors was added as part of Selectors Level 4, which is still a work in progress.

E:matches(s1, s2)

An E element that matches compound selector s1 and/or compound selector s2. Note that this selector is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

  my $headers = $dom->find(':matches(section, article, aside, nav) h1');

  $dom->parse('<b>Test</b>')->at('b')->wrap('<div><p></p>123</div>')->root;

  # "<p><b>Test</b></p><p>123</p>"
  $dom->parse('<b>Test</b>')->at('b')->wrap('<p></p><p>123</p>')->root;

  # "<p><b>Test</b></p>"
  $dom->parse('<p>Test</p>')->at('p')->child_nodes->first->wrap('<b>')->root;

wrap_content

  $dom = $dom->wrap_content('<div></div>');

Wrap HTML/XML fragment around this node's content (for root and tag nodes), placing it as the last children of the first innermost element.

  # "<p><b>123Test</b></p>"
  $dom->parse('<p>Test<p>')->at('p')->wrap_content('<b>123</b>')->root;

  # "<p><b>Test</b></p><p>123</p>"
  $dom->parse('<b>Test</b>')->wrap_content('<p></p><p>123</p>');

xml

  my $bool = $dom->xml;
  $dom     = $dom->xml($bool);

Disable HTML semantics in parser and activate case-sensitivity, defaults to auto detection based on XML declarations.

COLLECTION METHODS

Some Mojo::DOM58 methods return an array-based collection object based on Mojo::Collection, which can either be accessed directly as an array reference, or with the following methods.

  # Chain methods
  $collection->map(sub { ucfirst })->shuffle->each(sub {
    my ($word, $num) = @_;
    say "$num: $word";
  });

  # Access array directly to manipulate collection
  $collection->[23] += 100;
  say for @$collection;

compact

  my $new = $collection->compact;

Create a new collection with all elements that are defined and not an empty string.

  # $collection contains (0, 1, undef, 2, '', 3)
  $collection->compact->join(', '); # "0, 1, 2, 3"

each

  my @elements = $collection->each;
  $collection  = $collection->each(sub {...});

Evaluate callback for each element in collection or return all elements as a list if none has been provided. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback and is also available as $_.

  # Make a numbered list
  $collection->each(sub {
    my ($e, $num) = @_;
    say "$num: $e";
  });

first

  my $first = $collection->first;
  my $first = $collection->first(qr/foo/);
  my $first = $collection->first(sub {...});
  my $first = $collection->first($method);
  my $first = $collection->first($method, @args);

Evaluate regular expression/callback for, or call method on, each element in collection and return the first one that matched the regular expression, or for which the callback/method returned true. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback and is also available as $_.

  # Longer version
  my $first = $collection->first(sub { $_->$method(@args) });

  # Find first value that contains the word "mojo"
  my $interesting = $collection->first(qr/mojo/i);

  # Find first value that is greater than 5
  my $greater = $collection->first(sub { $_ > 5 });

flatten

  my $new = $collection->flatten;

Flatten nested collections/arrays recursively and create a new collection with all elements.

  # $collection contains (1, [2, [3, 4], 5, [6]], 7)
  $collection->flatten->join(', '); # "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7"

grep

  my $new = $collection->grep(qr/foo/);
  my $new = $collection->grep(sub {...});
  my $new = $collection->grep($method);
  my $new = $collection->grep($method, @args);

Evaluate regular expression/callback for, or call method on, each element in collection and create a new collection with all elements that matched the regular expression, or for which the callback/method returned true. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback and is also available as $_.

  # Longer version
  my $new = $collection->grep(sub { $_->$method(@args) });

  # Find all values that contain the word "mojo"
  my $interesting = $collection->grep(qr/mojo/i);

  # Find all values that are greater than 5
  my $greater = $collection->grep(sub { $_ > 5 });

join

  my $stream = $collection->join;
  my $stream = $collection->join("\n");

Turn collection into string.

  # Join all values with commas
  $collection->join(', ');

last

  my $last = $collection->last;

Return the last element in collection.

map

  my $new = $collection->map(sub {...});
  my $new = $collection->map($method);
  my $new = $collection->map($method, @args);

Evaluate callback for, or call method on, each element in collection and create a new collection from the results. The element will be the first argument passed to the callback and is also available as $_.

  # Longer version
  my $new = $collection->map(sub { $_->$method(@args) });

  # Append the word "mojo" to all values
  my $domified = $collection->map(sub { $_ . 'mojo' });

reduce

  my $result = $collection->reduce(sub {...});
  my $result = $collection->reduce(sub {...}, $initial);

Reduce elements in collection with callback, the first element will be used as initial value if none has been provided.

  # Calculate the sum of all values
  my $sum = $collection->reduce(sub { $a + $b });

  # Count how often each value occurs in collection
  my $hash = $collection->reduce(sub { $a->{$b}++; $a }, {});

reverse

  my $new = $collection->reverse;

Create a new collection with all elements in reverse order.

slice

  my $new = $collection->slice(4 .. 7);

Create a new collection with all selected elements.

  # $collection contains ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E')
  $collection->slice(1, 2, 4)->join(' '); # "B C E"

shuffle

  my $new = $collection->shuffle;

Create a new collection with all elements in random order.

size

  my $size = $collection->size;

Number of elements in collection.

sort

  my $new = $collection->sort;
  my $new = $collection->sort(sub {...});

Sort elements based on return value of callback and create a new collection from the results.

  # Sort values case-insensitive
  my $case_insensitive = $collection->sort(sub { uc($a) cmp uc($b) });

tap

  $collection = $collection->tap(sub {...});

Equivalent to "tap" in Mojo::Base.

to_array

  my $array = $collection->to_array;

Turn collection into array reference.

uniq

  my $new = $collection->uniq;
  my $new = $collection->uniq(sub {...});
  my $new = $collection->uniq($method);
  my $new = $collection->uniq($method, @args);

Create a new collection without duplicate elements, using the string representation of either the elements or the return value of the callback/method.

  # Longer version
  my $new = $collection->uniq(sub { $_->$method(@args) });

  # $collection contains ('foo', 'bar', 'bar', 'baz')
  $collection->uniq->join(' '); # "foo bar baz"

  # $collection contains ([1, 2], [2, 1], [3, 2])
  $collection->uniq(sub{ $_->[1] })->to_array; # "[[1, 2], [2, 1]]"
