Overview

htmlquery is an XPath query package for HTML, lets you extract data or evaluate from HTML documents by an XPath expression.

htmlquery built-in the query object caching feature based on LRU, this feature will caching the recently used XPATH query string. Enable query caching can avoid re-compile XPath expression each query.

Installation

go get github.com/antchfx/htmlquery

Getting Started

Query, returns matched elements or error.
nodes, err := htmlquery.QueryAll(doc, "//a")
if err != nil {
	panic(`not a valid XPath expression.`)
}
Load HTML document from URL.
doc, err := htmlquery.LoadURL("http://example.com/")
Load HTML from document.
filePath := "/home/user/sample.html"
doc, err := htmlquery.LoadDoc(filePath)
Load HTML document from string.
s := `<html>....</html>`
doc, err := htmlquery.Parse(strings.NewReader(s))
Find all A elements.
list := htmlquery.Find(doc, "//a")
Find all A elements that have href attribute.
list := range htmlquery.Find(doc, "//a[@href]")
Find all A elements with href attribute and only return href value.
list := range htmlquery.Find(doc, "//a/@href")	
for n := range list{
	fmt.Println(htmlquery.InnerText(n)) // output @href value without A element.
}
Find the third A element.
a := htmlquery.FindOne(doc, "//a[3]")
Evaluate the number of all IMG element.
expr, _ := xpath.Compile("count(//img)")
v := expr.Evaluate(htmlquery.CreateXPathNavigator(doc)).(float64)
fmt.Printf("total count is %f", v)

FAQ

Find() vs QueryAll(), which is better?

Find and QueryAll both do the same things, searches all of matched html nodes. The Find will panics if you give an error XPath query, but QueryAll will return an error for you.

Can I save my query expression object for the next query?

Yes, you can. We offer the QuerySelector and QuerySelectorAll methods, It will accept your query expression object.

Cache a query expression object(or reused) will avoid re-compile XPath query expression, improve your query performance.

Variables

View Source 
var DisableSelectorCache = false

DisableSelectorCache will disable caching for the query selector if value is true.

var SelectorCacheMaxEntries = 50

SelectorCacheMaxEntries allows how many selector object can be caching. Default is 50. Will disable caching if SelectorCacheMaxEntries <= 0.

Functions

func Find 

func Find(top *html.Node, expr string) []*html.Node

Find is like QueryAll but Will panics if the expression `expr` cannot be parsed.

See `QueryAll()` function.

func FindOne 

func FindOne(top *html.Node, expr string) *html.Node

FindOne is like Query but will panics if the expression `expr` cannot be parsed. See `Query()` function.

func InnerText 

func InnerText(n *html.Node) string

InnerText returns the text between the start and end tags of the object.

func LoadDoc added in v1.2.0 

func LoadDoc(path string) (*html.Node, error)

LoadDoc loads the HTML document from the specified file path.

func LoadURL 

func LoadURL(url string) (*html.Node, error)

LoadURL loads the HTML document from the specified URL.

func OutputHTML 

func OutputHTML(n *html.Node, self bool) string

Parse returns the parse tree for the HTML from the given Reader.

func Query added in v1.1.0 

func Query(top *html.Node, expr string) (*html.Node, error)

Query searches the html.Node that matches by the specified XPath expr, and return the first element of matched html.Node.
