NAME

    Mojo::DOM58 - Minimalistic HTML/XML DOM parser with CSS selectors

SYNOPSIS

      use Mojo::DOM58;
    
      # Parse
      my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new('<div><p id="a">Test</p><p id="b">123</p></div>');
    
      # Find
      say $dom->at('#b')->text;
      say $dom->find('p')->map('text')->join("\n");
      say $dom->find('[id]')->map(attr => 'id')->join("\n");
    
      # Iterate
      $dom->find('p[id]')->reverse->each(sub { say $_->{id} });
    
      # Loop
      for my $e ($dom->find('p[id]')->each) {
        say $e->{id}, ':', $e->text;
      }
    
      # Modify
      $dom->find('div p')->last->append('<p id="c">456</p>');
      $dom->at('#c')->prepend($dom->new_tag('p', id => 'd', '789'));
      $dom->find(':not(p)')->map('strip');
    
      # Render
      say "$dom";

DESCRIPTION

    Mojo::DOM58 is a minimalistic and relaxed pure-perl HTML/XML DOM parser
    based on Mojo::DOM. It supports the HTML Living Standard
    <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/> and Extensible Markup Language (XML)
    1.0 <http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/>, and matching based on CSS3 selectors
    <http://www.w3.org/TR/selectors/>. It will even try to interpret broken
    HTML and XML, so you should not use it for validation.

FORK INFO

    Mojo::DOM58 is a fork of Mojo::DOM and tracks features and fixes to
    stay closely compatible with upstream. It differs only in the
    standalone format and compatibility with Perl 5.8. Any bugs or patches
    not related to these changes should be reported directly to the
    Mojolicious issue tracker.

    This release of Mojo::DOM58 is up to date with version 8.09 of
    Mojolicious.

NODES AND ELEMENTS

    When we parse an HTML/XML fragment, it gets turned into a tree of
    nodes.

      <!DOCTYPE html>
      <html>
        <head><title>Hello</title></head>
        <body>World!</body>
      </html>

    There are currently eight different kinds of nodes, cdata, comment,
    doctype, pi, raw, root, tag and text. Elements are nodes of the type
    tag.

      root
      |- doctype (html)
      +- tag (html)
         |- tag (head)
         |  +- tag (title)
         |     +- raw (Hello)
         +- tag (body)
            +- text (World!)

    While all node types are represented as Mojo::DOM58 objects, some
    methods like "attr" and "namespace" only apply to elements.

CASE-SENSITIVITY

    Mojo::DOM58 defaults to HTML semantics, that means all tags and
    attribute names are lowercased and selectors need to be lowercase as
    well.

      # HTML semantics
      my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new('<P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
      say $dom->at('p[id]')->text;

    If an XML declaration is found, the parser will automatically switch
    into XML mode and everything becomes case-sensitive.

      # XML semantics
      my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new('<?xml version="1.0"?><P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
      say $dom->at('P[ID]')->text;

    HTML or XML semantics can also be forced with the "xml" method.

      # Force HTML semantics
      my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new->xml(0)->parse('<P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
      say $dom->at('p[id]')->text;
    
      # Force XML semantics
      my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new->xml(1)->parse('<P ID="greeting">Hi!</P>');
      say $dom->at('P[ID]')->text;

SELECTORS

    Mojo::DOM58 uses a CSS selector engine based on Mojo::DOM::CSS. All CSS
    selectors that make sense for a standalone parser are supported.

    *

      Any element.

        my $all = $dom->find('*');

    E

      An element of type E.

        my $title = $dom->at('title');

    E[foo]

      An E element with a foo attribute.

        my $links = $dom->find('a[href]');

    E[foo="bar"]

      An E element whose foo attribute value is exactly equal to bar.

        my $case_sensitive = $dom->find('input[type="hidden"]');
        my $case_sensitive = $dom->find('input[type=hidden]');

    E[foo="bar" i]

      An E element whose foo attribute value is exactly equal to any
      (ASCII-range) case-permutation of bar. Note that this selector is
      EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

        my $case_insensitive = $dom->find('input[type="hidden" i]');
        my $case_insensitive = $dom->find('input[type=hidden i]');
        my $case_insensitive = $dom->find('input[class~="foo" i]');

      This selector is part of Selectors Level 4
      <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors-4>, which is still a work in
      progress.

    E[foo~="bar"]

      An E element whose foo attribute value is a list of
      whitespace-separated values, one of which is exactly equal to bar.

        my $foo = $dom->find('input[class~="foo"]');
        my $foo = $dom->find('input[class~=foo]');

    E[foo^="bar"]

      An E element whose foo attribute value begins exactly with the string
      bar.

        my $begins_with = $dom->find('input[name^="f"]');
        my $begins_with = $dom->find('input[name^=f]');

    E[foo$="bar"]

      An E element whose foo attribute value ends exactly with the string
      bar.

        my $ends_with = $dom->find('input[name$="o"]');
        my $ends_with = $dom->find('input[name$=o]');

    E[foo*="bar"]

      An E element whose foo attribute value contains the substring bar.

        my $contains = $dom->find('input[name*="fo"]');
        my $contains = $dom->find('input[name*=fo]');

    E[foo|="en"]

      An E element whose foo attribute has a hyphen-separated list of
      values beginning (from the left) with en.

        my $english = $dom->find('link[hreflang|=en]');

      one.

        my $third    = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(3)');
        my $odd      = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(odd)');
        my $even     = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(even)');
        my $bottom3  = $dom->find('div:nth-last-child(-n+3)');

    E:nth-of-type(n)

      An E element, the n-th sibling of its type.

        my $third = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(3)');

    E:link

      An E element being the source anchor of a hyperlink of which the
      target is not yet visited (:link) or already visited (:visited). Note
      that Mojo::DOM58 is not stateful, therefore :link and :visited yield
      exactly the same results.

        my $links = $dom->find(':link');
        my $links = $dom->find(':visited');

    E:visited

      Alias for "E:link".

    E:not(s1, s2)

      An E element that does not match either compound selector s1 or
      compound selector s2. Note that support for compound selectors is
      EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

        my $others = $dom->find('div p:not(:first-child, :last-child)');

      Support for compound selectors was added as part of Selectors Level 4
      <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors-4>, which is still a work in
      progress.

    E:matches(s1, s2)

      An E element that matches compound selector s1 and/or compound
      selector s2. Note that this selector is EXPERIMENTAL and might change
      without warning!

        my $headers = $dom->find(':matches(section, article, aside, nav) h1');

      This selector is part of Selectors Level 4
      <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/selectors-4>, which is still a work in
      progress.

    A|E

      An E element that belongs to the namespace alias A from CSS
      Namespaces Module Level 3 <https://www.w3.org/TR/css-namespaces-3/>.
      Key/value pairs passed to selector methods are used to declare
      namespace aliases.

        my $elem = $dom->find('lq|elem', lq => 'http://example.com/q-markup');

      Using an empty alias searches for an element that belongs to no
      namespace.

        my $headlines = $dom->find('html > body > div > h1');

    E + F

      An F element immediately preceded by an E element.

        my $second = $dom->find('h1 + h2');

    E ~ F

      An F element preceded by an E element.

        my $second = $dom->find('h1 ~ h2');

    E, F, G

      Elements of type E, F and G.

        my $headlines = $dom->find('h1, h2, h3');

    E[foo=bar][bar=baz]

      An E element whose attributes match all following attribute
      selectors.

        my $links = $dom->find('a[foo^=b][foo$=ar]');

OPERATORS

    Mojo::DOM58 overloads the following operators.

 array

      my @nodes = @$dom;

    Alias for "child_nodes".

      # "<!-- Test -->"
      $dom->parse('<!-- Test --><b>123</b>')->[0];

 bool

      my $bool = !!$dom;

    Always true.

 hash

      my %attrs = %$dom;

    Alias for "attr".

 stringify

      my $str = "$dom";

    Alias for "to_string".

FUNCTIONS

    Mojo::DOM58 implements the following functions, which can be imported
    individually.

 tag_to_html

      my $str = tag_to_html 'div', id => 'foo', 'safe content';

    Generate HTML/XML tag and render it right away. This is a significantly
    faster alternative to "new_tag" for template systems that have to
    generate a lot of tags.

METHODS

    Mojo::DOM58 implements the following methods.

 new

      my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new;
      my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new('<foo bar="baz">I ♥ Mojo::DOM58!</foo>');

    Construct a new scalar-based Mojo::DOM58 object and "parse" HTML/XML
    fragment if necessary.

 new_tag

      my $tag = Mojo::DOM58->new_tag('div');
      my $tag = $dom->new_tag('div');
      my $tag = $dom->new_tag('div', id => 'foo', hidden => undef);
      my $tag = $dom->new_tag('div', 'safe content');
      my $tag = $dom->new_tag('div', id => 'foo', 'safe content');
      my $tag = $dom->new_tag('div', data => {mojo => 'rocks'}, 'safe content');
      my $tag = $dom->new_tag('div', id => 'foo', sub { 'unsafe content' });

    Construct a new Mojo::DOM58 object for an HTML/XML tag with or without
    attributes and content. The data attribute may contain a hash reference
    with key/value pairs to generate attributes from.

      $dom->new_tag('br');
    
      # "<div></div>"
      $dom->new_tag('div');
    
      # "<div id="foo" hidden></div>"

COLLECTION METHODS

    Some Mojo::DOM58 methods return an array-based collection object based
    on Mojo::Collection, which can either be accessed directly as an array
    reference, or with the following methods.

      # Chain methods
      $collection->map(sub { ucfirst })->shuffle->each(sub {
        my ($word, $num) = @_;
        say "$num: $word";
      });
    
      # Access array directly to manipulate collection
      $collection->[23] += 100;
      say for @$collection;

 compact

      my $new = $collection->compact;

    Create a new collection with all elements that are defined and not an
    empty string.

      # $collection contains (0, 1, undef, 2, '', 3)
      $collection->compact->join(', '); # "0, 1, 2, 3"

 each

      my @elements = $collection->each;
      $collection  = $collection->each(sub {...});

    Evaluate callback for each element in collection or return all elements
    as a list if none has been provided. The element will be the first
    argument passed to the callback and is also available as $_.

      # Make a numbered list
      $collection->each(sub {
        my ($e, $num) = @_;
        say "$num: $e";
      });

 first

      my $first = $collection->first($method);
      my $first = $collection->first($method, @args);

    Evaluate regular expression/callback for, or call method on, each
    element in collection and return the first one that matched the regular
    expression, or for which the callback/method returned true. The element
    will be the first argument passed to the callback and is also available
    as $_.

      # Longer version
      my $first = $collection->first(sub { $_->$method(@args) });
    
      # Find first value that contains the word "mojo"
      my $interesting = $collection->first(qr/mojo/i);
    
      # Find first value that is greater than 5
      my $greater = $collection->first(sub { $_ > 5 });

 flatten

      my $new = $collection->flatten;

      my $new = $collection->grep($method);
      my $new = $collection->grep($method, @args);

    Evaluate regular expression/callback for, or call method on, each
    element in collection and create a new collection with all elements
    that matched the regular expression, or for which the callback/method
    returned true. The element will be the first argument passed to the
    callback and is also available as $_.

      # Longer version
      my $new = $collection->grep(sub { $_->$method(@args) });
    
      # Find all values that contain the word "mojo"
      my $interesting = $collection->grep(qr/mojo/i);
    
      # Find all values that are greater than 5
      my $greater = $collection->grep(sub { $_ > 5 });

 join

      my $stream = $collection->join;
      my $stream = $collection->join("\n");

    Turn collection into string.

      # Join all values with commas
      $collection->join(', ');

 last

      my $last = $collection->last;

    Return the last element in collection.

 map

      my $new = $collection->map(sub {...});
      my $new = $collection->map($method);
      my $new = $collection->map($method, @args);

    Evaluate callback for, or call method on, each element in collection
    and create a new collection from the results. The element will be the
    first argument passed to the callback and is also available as $_.

      # Longer version
      my $new = $collection->map(sub { $_->$method(@args) });
    
      # Append the word "mojo" to all values
      my $domified = $collection->map(sub { $_ . 'mojo' });

 reduce

      my $result = $collection->reduce(sub {...});
      my $result = $collection->reduce(sub {...}, $initial);

    Reduce elements in collection with callback, the first element will be
    used as initial value if none has been provided.

      # Calculate the sum of all values
      my $sum = $collection->reduce(sub { $a + $b });
    
      # Count how often each value occurs in collection

 uniq

      my $new = $collection->uniq;
      my $new = $collection->uniq(sub {...});
      my $new = $collection->uniq($method);
      my $new = $collection->uniq($method, @args);

    Create a new collection without duplicate elements, using the string
    representation of either the elements or the return value of the
    callback/method to decide uniqueness. Note that undef and empty string
    are treated the same.

      # Longer version
      my $new = $collection->uniq(sub { $_->$method(@args) });
    
      # $collection contains ('foo', 'bar', 'bar', 'baz')
