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->children('p')->first->{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 also be disabled with the xml method.
# Force XML semantics
$dom->xml(1);
# Force HTML5 semantics
$dom->xml(0);METHODS
Mojo::DOM implements the following methods.
new
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new;
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new('<foo bar="baz">test</foo>');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 enabled by default.
# "foo bar baz"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->all_text;
# "foo\nbarbaz\n"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->all_text(0);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.
# Find first element with "svg" namespace definition
my $namespace = $dom->at('[xmlns\:svg]')->{'xmlns:svg'};attrs
my $attrs = $dom->attrs;
my $foo = $dom->attrs('foo');
$dom = $dom->attrs({foo => 'bar'});
$dom = $dom->attrs(foo => 'bar');Element attributes.
charset
my $charset = $dom->charset;
$dom = $dom->charset('UTF-8');Alias for "charset" in Mojo::DOM::HTML.
children
my $collection = $dom->children;
my $collection = $dom->children('div');Return a Mojo::Collection object containing the children of this element, similar to find.
# Show type of random child element
say $dom->children->shuffle->first->type;content_xml
my $xml = $dom->content_xml;Render content of this element to XML.
# "<b>test</b>"
$dom->parse('<div><b>test</b></div>')->div->content_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.
# Find namespace for an element with namespace prefix
my $namespace = $dom->at('svg > svg\:circle')->namespace;
# Find namespace for an element that may or may not have a namespace prefix
my $namespace = $dom->at('svg > circle')->namespace;parent
my $parent = $dom->parent;Parent of element.
parse
$dom = $dom->parse('<foo bar="baz">test</foo>');Alias for "parse" in Mojo::DOM::HTML.
# Parse UTF-8 encoded XML
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new->charset('UTF-8')->xml(1)->parse($xml);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 enabled by default.
# "foo baz"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->text;
# "foo\nbaz\n"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->text(0);text_after
my $trimmed = $dom->text_after;
my $untrimmed = $dom->text_after(0);Extract text content immediately following element, smart whitespace trimming is enabled by default.
# "baz"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->p->text_after;
# "baz\n"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->p->text_after(0);text_before
my $trimmed = $dom->text_before;
my $untrimmed = $dom->text_before(0);Extract text content immediately preceding element, smart whitespace trimming is enabled by default.
# "foo"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->p->text_before;
# "foo\n"
$dom->parse("<div>foo\n<p>bar</p>baz\n</div>")->div->p->text_before(0);to_xml
my $xml = $dom->to_xml;Render this element and its content to XML.
# "<div><b>test</b></div>"
$dom->parse('<div><b>test</b></div>')->div->to_xml;tree
my $tree = $dom->tree;
$dom = $dom->tree(['root', ['text', 'lalala']]);Alias for "tree" in Mojo::DOM::HTML.
type
my $type = $dom->type;
$dom = $dom->type('div');Element type.
# List types of child elements
$dom->children->each(sub { say $_->type });xml
my $xml = $dom->xml;
$dom = $dom->xml(1);Alias for "xml" in Mojo::DOM::HTML.
CHILD ELEMENTS
In addition to the methods above, many child elements are also automatically available as object methods, which return a Mojo::DOM or Mojo::Collection object, depending on number of children.
say $dom->p->text;
say $dom->div->[23]->text;
$dom->div->each(sub { say $_->text });ELEMENT ATTRIBUTES
Direct hash reference access to element attributes is also possible.
say $dom->{foo};
say $dom->div->{id};
