Convert HTML to JSON. Currently available for .NET Framework 4.6, .NET Standard Library 1.6, and .NET Core 1.0. May be compatible with lower versions, any help porting backwards would be great.
Check out the jsonize-2.0.0 branch to see the latest updates.
Try it out: http://jsonize.jackfinlay.com
Get the NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/JackWFinlay.Jsonize/
Use the using statement:
using JackWFinlay.Jsonize;An example to get the site "http://jackfinlay.com" as a JSON string:
private static async Task<string> Testy(string q = "")
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
string url = @"http://jackfinlay.com";
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.GetAsync(url);
string html = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Jsonize jsonize = new Jsonize(html);
return jsonize.ParseHtmlAsJsonString();
}
}Alternatively, get the response as a Newtonsoft.Json JObject:
return jsonize.ParseHtmlAsJson();You can control the output with a JsonizeConfiguration object, which is passed as a parameter to the parsing methods:
...
JsonizeConfiguration jsonizeConfiguration = new JsonizeConfiguration
{
NullValueHandling = NullValueHandling.Ignore,
EmptyTextNodeHandling = EmptyTextNodeHandling.Ignore,
TextTrimHandling = TextTrimHandling.Trim,
ClassAttributeHandling = ClassAttributeHandling.Array
};
return jsonize.ParseHtmlAsJsonString(jsonizeConfiguration);Results are in the form:
{
"node":"Node type e.g. Document, Element, or Comment",
"tag":"If node is Element this will display the tag e.g p, h1 ,div etc.",
"text":"If node is of type Text, this will display the text in that node.",
"attr":{
"name":"value",
"name":"value",
"class": []
},
"child":[
{
"node":"Node type e.g. Document, Element, or Comment",
"tag":"If node is Element this will display the tag e.g p, h1 ,div etc.",
"text":"If node is of type Text, this will display the text in that node.",
"child": []
},
