Delphi HTML Parser

October 22, 2023 Exposed Attributes and Children properties of IHTMLElement for convenience

April 28, 2022 Forked from https://github.com/edwinyzh/htmlparser Translated Chinese strings/comments to English via Google Translate

---

The code is modified from HtmlParser of the original wr960204. Because of my own needs, I need to modify the html, but only support the read operation, so on this basis Modified and named HtmlParserEx.pas to distinguish it.

use

// Load example from file
procedure Test;
var
   LHtml: IHtmlElement;
   LList: IHtmlElementList;
   LStrStream: TStringStream;
begin
   LStrStream := TStringStream.Create('', TEncoding.UTF8);
   try
     LStrStream.LoadFromFile('view-source_https___github.com_ying32_htmlparser.html');
     LHtml := ParserHTML(LStrStream.DataString);
     if LHtml <> nil then
     begin
       LList := LHtml.SimpleCSSSelector('a');
       for LHtml in LList do
         Writeln('url:', lhtml.Attributes['href']);
     end;
   finally
     LStrStream.Free;
   end;
end;

1. Remove the reference to the RegularExpressions unit, no longer use TRegEx and use TPerlRegEx in the RegularExpressionsCore unit

April 19, 2017

1. Add the compilation instruction "UseXPath" that uses the XPath function. By default, XPath is not used. Personally, it is useless.

November 23, 2016

1. Simple support for XPath, simple, use xpath to css selector, hey The code of xpath conversion is changed from python version

IHtmlElement

  LHtml.FindX('/html/head/title').Each(
    procedure(AIndex: Integer; AEl: IHtmlElement) 
    begin
      Writeln('xpath index=', AIndex, ',  a=', AEl.Text);  
    end
  );

IHtmlElement

// modify properties
      EL.Attributes['class'] := 'xxxx';
      // modify the tag
      EL.TagName = 'a';
      // remove myself
      EL.Remove;
      // remove child nodes
      EL.RemoveChild(El2);
      // css selector search, simplified use
      El.Find('a');
      // append a new element
      el2 := El.AppendChild('a');
     
     

IHtmlElementList

// remove the selected element
   LHtml.Find('a').RemoveAll;

   // find and iterate
   LHtml.Find('a').Each(
     procedure(AIndex: Integer; AEl: IHtmlElement)
     begin
       Writeln('Index=', AIndex, ', href=', AEl.Attributes['href']);
     end);

   // Direct output, only the first element selected
   Writeln(LHtml.Find('title').Text);
