NAME
Mojo::DOM - Minimalistic XML/HTML5 DOM Parser With CSS3 Selectors
SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::DOM;
# Parse
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new;
$dom->parse('<div><div id="a">A</div><div id="b">B</div></div>');
# Find
my $b = $dom->at('#b');
print $b->text;
# Iterate
$dom->find('div[id]')->each(sub { print shift->text });
# Loop
for my $e ($dom->find('div[id]')->each) {
print $e->text;
}
# Get the first 10 links
$dom->find('a[href]')
->while(sub { print shift->attrs->{href} && pop() < 10 });
# Search for a link about a specific topic
$dom->find('a[href]')
->until(sub { $_->text =~ m/kraih/ && print $_->attrs->{href} });
DESCRIPTION
Mojo::DOM is a minimalistic and very relaxed XML/HTML5 DOM parser with support for CSS3 selectors. It will even try to interpret broken XML, so you should not use it for validation.
SELECTORS
All CSS3 selectors that make sense for a standalone parser are supported.
*
Any element.
my $first = $dom->at('*');
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 $fields = $dom->find('input[name="foo"]');
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 $fields = $dom->find('input[name~="foo"]');
E[foo^="bar"]
An E
element whose foo
attribute value begins exactly with the string bar
.
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name^="f"]');
E[foo$="bar"]
An E
element whose foo
attribute value ends exactly with the string bar
.
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name$="o"]');
E[foo*="bar"]
An E
element whose foo
attribute value contains the substring bar
.
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name*="fo"]');
E:root
An E
element, root of the document.
my $root = $dom->at(':root');
E:checked
A user interface element E
which is checked (for instance a radio-button or checkbox).
my $input = $dom->at(':checked');
E:empty
An E
element that has no children (including text nodes).
my $empty = $dom->find(':empty');
E:nth-child(n)
An E
element, the n-th
child of its parent.
my $third = $dom->at('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->at('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->at('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)');
E:nth-last-of-type(n)
An E
element, the n-th
sibling of its type, counting from the last one.
my $third = $dom->at('div:nth-last-of-type(3)');
my $odd = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(odd)');
my $even = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(even)');
my $bottom3 = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(-n+3)');
E:first-child
An E
element, first child of its parent.
my $first = $dom->at('div p:first-child');
E:last-child
An E
element, last child of its parent.
my $last = $dom->at('div p:last-child');
E:first-of-type
An E
element, first sibling of its type.
my $first = $dom->at('div p:first-of-type');
E:last-of-type
An E
element, last sibling of its type.
my $last = $dom->at('div p:last-of-type');
E:only-child
An E
element, only child of its parent.
my $lonely = $dom->at('div p:only-child');
E:only-of-type
an E
element, only sibling of its type.
my $lonely = $dom->at('div p:only-of-type');
E:not(s)
An E
element that does not match simple selector s
.
my $others = $dom->at('div p:not(:first-child)');
E F
An F
element descendant of an E
element.
my $headlines = $dom->find('div h1');
E > F
An F
element child of an E
element.
my $headlines = $dom->find('html > body > div > h1');

element immediately preceded by an E
element.
