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');
say $b->text;
# Walk
say $dom->div->p->[0]->text;
say $dom->div->p->[1]->{id};
# Iterate
$dom->find('p[id]')->each(sub { say shift->{id} });
# Loop
for my $e ($dom->find('p[id]')->each) {
say $e->text;
}
# Modify
$dom->div->p->[1]->append('<p id="c">C</p>');
# Render
say $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.
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>');
say $dom->at('p')->text;
say $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>');
say $dom->at('P')->text;
say $dom->P->{ID};XML detection can be also deactivated with the xml method.
# XML sematics
$dom->xml(1);
# HTML5 semantics
$dom->xml(0);METHODS
Mojo::DOM inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.
new
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new;
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new(xml => 1);
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new('<foo bar="baz">test</foo>');
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new('<foo bar="baz">test</foo>', xml => 1);Construct a new Mojo::DOM object.
all_text
my $trimmed = $dom->all_text;
my $untrimmed = $dom->all_text(0);Extract all text content from DOM structure, smart whitespace trimming is activated by default. Note that the trim argument of this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!
append
$dom = $dom->append('<p>Hi!</p>');Append to element.
# "<div><h1>A</h1><h2>B</h2></div>"
$dom->parse('<div><h1>A</h1></div>')->at('h1')->append('<h2>B</h2>');append_content
$dom = $dom->append_content('<p>Hi!</p>');Append to element content.
# "<div><h1>AB</h1></div>"
$dom->parse('<div><h1>A</h1></div>')->at('h1')->append_content('B');at
my $result = $dom->at('html title');Find a single element with CSS3 selectors. All selectors from Mojo::DOM::CSS are supported.
attrs
my $attrs = $dom->attrs;
my $foo = $dom->attrs('foo');
$dom = $dom->attrs({foo => 'bar'});
$dom = $dom->attrs(foo => 'bar');Element attributes.
# Direct hash access to attributes is also available
say $dom->{foo};
say $dom->div->{id};charset
my $charset = $dom->charset;
$dom = $dom->charset('UTF-8');Charset used for decoding and encoding HTML5/XML.
children
my $collection = $dom->children;
my $collection = $dom->children('div')Return a Mojo::Collection object containing the children of this element, similar to find.
# Child elements are also automatically available as object methods
say $dom->div->text;
say $dom->div->[23]->text;
$dom->div->each(sub { say $_->text });content_xml
my $xml = $dom->content_xml;Render content of this element to XML.
find
my $collection = $dom->find('html title');Find elements with CSS3 selectors and return a Mojo::Collection object. All selectors from Mojo::DOM::CSS are supported.
# Find a specific element and extract information
my $id = $dom->find('div')->[23]->{id};
# Extract information from multiple elements
my @headers = $dom->find('h1, h2, h3')->map(sub { shift->text })->each;namespace
my $namespace = $dom->namespace;Find element namespace.
parent
my $parent = $dom->parent;Parent of element.
parse
$dom = $dom->parse('<foo bar="baz">test</foo>');Parse HTML5/XML document with Mojo::DOM::HTML.
prepend
$dom = $dom->prepend('<p>Hi!</p>');Prepend to element.
# "<div><h1>A</h1><h2>B</h2></div>"
$dom->parse('<div><h2>B</h2></div>')->at('h2')->prepend('<h1>A</h1>');prepend_content
$dom = $dom->prepend_content('<p>Hi!</p>');Prepend to element content.
# "<div><h2>AB</h2></div>"
$dom->parse('<div><h2>B</h2></div>')->at('h2')->prepend_content('A');replace
$dom = $dom->replace('<div>test</div>');Replace elements.
# "<div><h2>B</h2></div>"
$dom->parse('<div><h1>A</h1></div>')->at('h1')->replace('<h2>B</h2>');replace_content
$dom = $dom->replace_content('test');Replace element content.
# "<div><h1>B</h1></div>"
$dom->parse('<div><h1>A</h1></div>')->at('h1')->replace_content('B');root
my $root = $dom->root;Find root node.
text
my $trimmed = $dom->text;
my $untrimmed = $dom->text(0);Extract text content from element only (not including child elements), smart whitespace trimming is activated by default. Note that the trim argument of this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!
to_xml
my $xml = $dom->to_xml;Render DOM to XML.
tree
my $tree = $dom->tree;
$dom = $dom->tree(['root', ['text', 'lalala']]);Document Object Model.
type
my $type = $dom->type;
$dom = $dom->type('html');Element type.
xml
my $xml = $dom->xml;
$dom = $dom->xml(1);Disable HTML5 semantics in parser and activate case sensitivity, defaults to auto detection based on processing instructions. Note that this method is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!
