The DOM handler (formally known as DefaultHandler) creates a tree containing all nodes of a page. The tree may be manipulated using the domutils library.
var handler = new DomHandler([ <func> callback(err, dom), ] [ <obj> options ]); // var parser = new Parser(handler[, options]);
Available options are described below.
var htmlparser = require("htmlparser2"); var rawHtml = "Xyz <script language= javascript>var foo = '<<bar>>';< / script><!--<!-- Waah! -- -->"; var handler = new htmlparser.DomHandler(function (error, dom) { if (error) [...do something for errors...] else [...parsing done, do something...] console.log(dom); }); var parser = new htmlparser.Parser(handler); parser.write(rawHtml); parser.end();
Output:
[{ data: 'Xyz ', type: 'text' }, { type: 'script', name: 'script', attribs: { language: 'javascript' }, children: [{ data: 'var foo = \'<bar>\';<', type: 'text' }] }, { data: '<!-- Waah! -- ', type: 'comment' }]
Indicates whether the whitespace in text nodes should be normalized (= all whitespace should be replaced with single spaces). The default value is “false”.
The following HTML will be used:
<font> <br>this is the text <font>
[{ type: 'tag', name: 'font', children: [{ data: ' ', type: 'text' }, { type: 'tag', name: 'br' }, { data: 'this is the text ', type: 'text' }, { type: 'tag', name: 'font' }] }]
[{ type: 'tag', name: 'font', children: [{ data: '\n\t', type: 'text' }, { type: 'tag', name: 'br' }, { data: 'this is the text\n', type: 'text' }, { type: 'tag', name: 'font' }] }]
Adds DOM level 1 properties to all elements.
Indicates whether a startIndex
property will be added to nodes. When the parser is used in a non-streaming fashion, startIndex
is an integer indicating the position of the start of the node in the document. The default value is “false”.
Indicates whether a endIndex
property will be added to nodes. When the parser is used in a non-streaming fashion, endIndex
is an integer indicating the position of the end of the node in the document. The default value is “false”.
