MyHTML

Build Status

Fast HTML5 Parser (Crystal binding for awesome lexborisov's myhtml and Modest). This shard used in production to parse millions of pages per day, very stable and fast.

WARNING: original libraries (myhtml and Modest) not maintained since july 2020, i recommend switch to successor parser: Lexbor.

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  myhtml:
    github: kostya/myhtml

And run shards install

Usage example

require "myhtml"

html = <<-HTML
  <html>
    <body>
      <div id="t1" class="red">
        <a href="/#">O_o</a>
      </div>
      <div id="t2"></div>
    </body>
  </html>
HTML

myhtml = Myhtml::Parser.new(html)

myhtml.nodes(:div).each do |node|
  id = node.attribute_by("id")

  if first_link = node.scope.nodes(:a).first?
    href = first_link.attribute_by("href")
    link_text = first_link.inner_text

    puts "div with id #{id} have link [#{link_text}](#{href})"
  else
    puts "div with id #{id} have no links"
  end
