HTML parser written in Python
It implements most of needed functions for convenient working with HTML DOM.
- Parsing from string or from URL(with or without connection);
- All DOM readonly functions;
- CSS query selectors;
When using querySelect, please keep in mind some differences from native CSS selectors:
- when using selectors like querySelectorAll("input[type='text']"), attribute value should always be quoted;
- when using complex selectors like querySelectorAll("div > li > div"), there should be at least one space between each selector and operator.
From URL:
from parser import *
dom = HTMLDomParser(PARSER_MODE["URL"], "http://my_favourite_web_site.zzz")
doc = dom.getDocument()
divs = doc.getElementsByTagName("div")
firstDiv = divs[0]
firstDivFirstChild = firstDiv.firstElementChild()
secondDiv = divs[1]
secondDiv2 = firstDiv.nextElementSibling()
navs = doc.getElementsByClassName("nav")
classyDivs = doc.querySelectorAll("div[class]")
divLiDiv = doc.querySelectorAll("div > li > div")
...Or from string:
from parser import *
dom = HTMLDomParser(PARSER_MODE["RAW"], "<html><head>...</head><body>...</body></html>")
