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. Note that this module is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

Selectors

All CSS3 selectors that make sense for a standalone parser are supported.

*

Any element.

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

An element of type E.

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

An E element with a foo attribute.

E[foo="bar"]
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name="foo"]');

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

E[foo~="bar"]
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name~="foo"]');

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

E[foo^="bar"]
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name^="f"]');

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

E[foo$="bar"]
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name$="o"]');

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

E[foo*="bar"]
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name*="fo"]');

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

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

An E element, root of the document.

E:checked
my $input = $dom->at(':checked');

A user interface element E which is checked (for instance a radio-button or checkbox).

E:empty
my $empty = $dom->find(':empty');

An E element that has no children (including text nodes).

E:nth-child(n)
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)');

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

E:nth-last-child(n)
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)');

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

E:nth-of-type(n)
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)');

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

E:nth-last-of-type(n)
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)');

An E element, the n-th sibling of its type, counting from the last one.

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

An E element, first child of its parent.

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

An E element, last child of its parent.

E:first-of-type
my $first = $dom->at('div p:first-of-type');

An E element, first sibling of its type.

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

An E element, last sibling of its type.

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

An E element, only child of its parent.

E:only-of-type
my $lonely = $dom->at('div p:only-of-type');

an E element, only sibling of its type.

E:not(s)
my $others = $dom->at('div p:not(:first-child)');

An E element that does not match simple selector s.

E F
my $headlines = $dom->find('div h1');

An F element descendant of an E element.

E > F
my $headlines = $dom->find('html > body > div > h1');

An F element child of an E element.

E + F
my $second = $dom->find('h1 + h2');

An F element immediately preceded by an E element.

E ~ F
my $second = $dom->find('h1 ~ h2');

An F element preceded by an E element.

E, F, G
my $headlines = $dom->find('h1, h2, h3');

Elements of type E, F and G.

E[foo=bar][bar=baz]
my $links = $dom->find('a[foo^="b"][foo$="ar"]');

An E element whose attributes match all following attribute selectors.
