=head1 NAME
Web::Scraper - Web Scraping Toolkit using HTML and CSS Selectors or XPath expressions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
  use URI;
  use Web::Scraper;
  use Encode;
  # First, create your scraper block
  my $authors = scraper {
      # Parse all TDs inside 'table[width="100%]"', store them into
      # an array 'authors'.  We embed other scrapers for each TD.
      process 'table[width="100%"] td', "authors[]" => scraper {
        # And, in each TD,
        # get the URI of "a" element
        process "a", uri => '@href';
        # get text inside "small" element
        process "small", fullname => 'TEXT';
      };
  };
  my $res = $authors->scrape( URI->new("http://search.cpan.org/author/?A") );
  # iterate the array 'authors'
  for my $author (@{$res->{authors}}) {
      # output is like:
      # Andy Adler      http://search.cpan.org/~aadler/
      # Aaron K Dancygier       http://search.cpan.org/~aakd/
      # Aamer Akhter    http://search.cpan.org/~aakhter/
      print Encode::encode("utf8", "$author->{fullname}\t$author->{uri}\n");
  }
The structure would resemble this (visually)
  {
    authors => [
      { fullname => $fullname, link => $uri },
      { fullname => $fullname, link => $uri },
    ]
  }
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Web::Scraper is a web scraper toolkit, inspired by Ruby's equivalent
Scrapi. It provides a DSL-ish interface for traversing HTML documents and
returning a neatly arranged Perl data structure.
The I<scraper> and I<process> blocks provide a method to define what segments
of a document to extract.  It understands HTML and CSS Selectors as well as
XPath expressions.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 scraper
  $scraper = scraper { ... };
Creates a new Web::Scraper object by wrapping the DSL code that will be fired when I<scrape> method is called.
=head2 scrape
  $res = $scraper->scrape(URI->new($uri));
  $res = $scraper->scrape($html_content);
  $res = $scraper->scrape(\$html_content);
  $res = $scraper->scrape($http_response);
  $res = $scraper->scrape($html_element);
Retrieves the HTML from URI, HTTP::Response, HTML::Tree or text
strings and creates a DOM object, then fires the callback scraper code
to retrieve the data structure.
If you pass URI or HTTP::Response object, Web::Scraper will
automatically guesses the encoding of the content by looking at
Content-Type headers and META tags. Otherwise you need to decode the
HTML to Unicode before passing it to I<scrape> method.
You can optionally pass the base URL when you pass the HTML content as
a string instead of URI or HTTP::Response.
  $res = $scraper->scrape($html_content, "http://example.com/foo");
This way Web::Scraper can resolve the relative links found in the document.
=head2 process
  scraper {
      process "tag.class", key => 'TEXT';
      process '//tag[contains(@foo, "bar")]', key2 => '@attr';
      process '//comment()', 'comments[]' => 'TEXT';
  };
I<process> is the method to find matching elements from HTML with CSS
selector or XPath expression, then extract text or attributes into the
result stash.
If the first argument begins with "//" or "id(" it's treated as an
XPath expression and otherwise CSS selector.
  # <span class="date">2008/12/21</span>
  # date => "2008/12/21"
  process ".date", date => 'TEXT';
  # <div class="body"><a href="http://example.com/">foo</a></div>
  # link => URI->new("http://example.com/")
  process ".body > a", link => '@href';
  # <div class="body"><!-- HTML Comment here --><a href="http://example.com/">foo</a></div>
  # comment => " HTML Comment here "
  #
  # NOTES: A comment nodes are accessed when installed
  # the HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath (version >= 0.14) and/or
  # the HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML (version >= 0.13)
  process "//div[contains(@class, 'body')]/comment()", comment => 'TEXT';
  # <div class="body"><a href="http://example.com/">foo</a></div>
  # link => URI->new("http://example.com/"), text => "foo"
  process ".body > a", link => '@href', text => 'TEXT';
  # <ul><li>foo</li><li>bar</li></ul>
  # list => [ "foo", "bar" ]
  process "li", "list[]" => "TEXT";
  # <ul><li id="1">foo</li><li id="2">bar</li></ul>
  # list => [ { id => "1", text => "foo" }, { id => "2", text => "bar" } ];
  process "li", "list[]" => { id => '@id', text => "TEXT" };
=head2 process_first
C<process_first> is the same as C<process> but stops when the first matching
result is found.
  # <span class="date">2008/12/21</span>
  # <span class="date">2008/12/22</span>
  # date => "2008/12/21"
  process_first ".date", date => 'TEXT';
=head2 result
C<result> allows to return not the default value after processing but a single
value specified by a key or a hash reference built from several keys.
  process 'a', 'want[]' => 'TEXT';
  result 'want';
=head1 EXAMPLES
There are many examples in the C<eg/> dir packaged in this distribution.
It is recommended to look through these.
=head1 NESTED SCRAPERS
Scrapers can be nested thus allowing to scrape already captured data.
  # <ul>
  # <li class="foo"><a href="foo1">bar1</a></li>
  # <li class="bar"><a href="foo2">bar2</a></li>
  # <li class="foo"><a href="foo3">bar3</a></li>
  # </ul>
  # friends => [ {href => 'foo1'}, {href => 'foo2'} ];
  process 'li', 'friends[]' => scraper {
    process 'a', href => '@href',
  };
=head1 FILTERS
Filters are applied to the result after processing. They can be declared as
anonymous subroutines or as class names.
  process $exp, $key => [ 'TEXT', sub { s/foo/bar/ } ];
  process $exp, $key => [ 'TEXT', 'Something' ];
  process $exp, $key => [ 'TEXT', '+MyApp::Filter::Foo' ];
Filters can be stacked
  process $exp, $key => [ '@href', 'Foo', '+MyApp::Filter::Bar', \&baz ];
More about filters you can find in L<Web::Scraper::Filter> documentation.
=head1 XML backends
By default L<HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath> is used, this can be replaces by
a L<XML::LibXML> backend using L<Web::Scraper::LibXML> module.
  use Web::Scraper::LibXML;
  # same as Web::Scraper
  my $scraper = scraper { ... };
