GoHTML

A powerful and comprehensive HTML parser and DOM manipulation library for Go, bringing JavaScript-like DOM operations to the Go ecosystem.

Installation

Run the following command in project directory in order to install.

go get github.com/udan-jayanith/GoHTML

Then GoHTML can import like this.

import (
	GoHtml "github.com/udan-jayanith/GoHTML"
)

Features

  • Parsing
  • Serialization
  • Node tree traversing
  • Querying

Example

Heres an example of fetching a website and parsing and then using querying methods.

	res, err := http.Get("https://www.metalsucks.net/")
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer res.Body.Close()

	//Parses the given html reader and then returns the root node and an error.
	node, err := GoHtml.Decode(res.Body)
	if err != nil {
		t.Fatal(err)
	}

	nodeList := node.GetElementsByClassName("post-title")
	iter := nodeList.IterNodeList()
	for node := range iter{
		print(node.GetInnerText())
	}

Changelog
