NAME
Mojo::DOM - Minimalistic HTML5/XML DOM Parser With CSS3 Selectors
SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::DOM;
# Parse
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new('<div><p id="a">A</p><p id="b">B</p></div>');
# Find
my $b = $dom->at('#b');
print $b->text;
# Walk
print $dom->div->p->[0]->text;
print $dom->div->p->[1]->{id};
# Iterate
$dom->find('p[id]')->each(sub { print shift->{id} });
# Loop
for my $e ($dom->find('p[id]')->each) {
print $e->text;
}
# Modify
$dom->div->p->[1]->append('<p id="c">C</p>');
# Render
print $dom;
DESCRIPTION
Mojo::DOM is a minimalistic and relaxed HTML5/XML DOM parser with CSS3 selector support. 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
.

element whose foo
attribute value ends exactly with the string bar
.
my $fields = $dom->find('input[name$="o"]');

element.

E + F
An F
element immediately preceded by an E
element.
my $second = $dom->find('h1 + h2');
E ~ F
An F
element preceded by an E
element.
my $second = $dom->find('h1 ~ h2');
E, F, G
Elements of type E
, F
and G
.
my $headlines = $dom->find('h1, h2, h3');
E[foo=bar][bar=baz]
An E
element whose attributes match all following attribute selectors.
my $links = $dom->find('a[foo^="b"][foo$="ar"]');
CASE SENSITIVITY
Mojo::DOM defaults to HTML5 semantics, that means all tags and attributes are lowercased and selectors need to be lowercase as well.
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new('<P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
print $dom->at('p')->text;
print $dom->p->{id};
If XML processing instructions are found, the parser will automatically switch into XML mode and everything becomes case sensitive.
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new('<?xml version="1.0"?><P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
print $dom->at('P')->text;
print $dom->P->{ID};
XML detection can be also deactivated with the xml
method.
# XML sematics
$dom->xml(1);
# HTML5 semantics
$dom->xml(0);
