It supports the HTML Living Standard and Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 , and matching based on CSS3 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. Hello World! 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('

Hi!

'); 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('

Hi!

'); 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('

Hi!

'); say $dom->at('p[id]')->text; # Force XML semantics my $dom = Mojo::DOM58->new->xml(1)->parse('

Hi!

'); 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 , 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]'); E:root An E element, root of the document. my $root = $dom->at(':root'); E:nth-child(n) An E element, the n-th child of its parent. my $third = $dom->find('div:nth-child(3)'); my $odd = $dom->find('div:nth-child(odd)'); my $even = $dom->find('div:nth-child(even)'); my $top3 = $dom->find('div:nth-child(-n+3)'); E:nth-last-child(n) An E element, the n-th child of its parent, counting from the last 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)'); my $odd = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(odd)'); my $even = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(even)'); my $top3 = $dom->find('div:nth-of-type(-n+3)'); E:nth-last-of-type(n) An E element, the n-th sibling of its type, counting from the last one. my $third = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(3)'); my $odd = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(odd)'); my $even = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(even)'); my $bottom3 = $dom->find('div:nth-last-of-type(-n+3)'); E:first-child An E element, first child of its parent. my $first = $dom->find('div p:first-child'); E:last-child An E element, last child of its parent. my $last = $dom->find('div p:last-child'); E:first-of-type An E element, first sibling of its type. my $first = $dom->find('div p:first-of-type'); E:last-of-type An E element, last sibling of its type. my $last = $dom->find('div p:last-of-type'); E:only-child An E element, only child of its parent. my $lonely = $dom->find('div p:only-child'); E:only-of-type An E element, only sibling of its type. my $lonely = $dom->find('div p:only-of-type'); E:empty An E element that has no children (including text nodes). my $empty = $dom->find(':empty'); 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:checked A user interface element E which is checked (for instance a radio-button or checkbox). my $input = $dom->find(':checked'); E.warning An E element whose class is "warning". my $warning = $dom->find('div.warning'); E#myid An E element with ID equal to "myid". my $foo = $dom->at('div#foo'); 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 , 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 , 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 . 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 $div = $dom->find('|div'); E F An F element descendant of an E element. my $headlines = $dom->find('div h1'); E > F An F element child of an E element. 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". # "" $dom->parse('123')->[0]; bool my $bool = !!$dom; Always true. hash my %attrs = %$dom; Alias for "attr". # "test" $dom->parse('
Test
')->at('div')->{id}; 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('I ♥ Mojo::DOM58!'); 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. # "

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; my $first = $collection->first(qr/foo/); my $first = $collection->first(sub {...}); 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; Flatten nested collections/arrays recursively and create a new collection with all elements. # $collection contains (1, [2, [3, 4], 5, [6]], 7) $collection->flatten->join(', '); # "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" grep my $new = $collection->grep(qr/foo/); my $new = $collection->grep(sub {...}); 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 my $hash = $collection->reduce(sub { $a->{$b}++; $a }, {}); reverse my $new = $collection->reverse; Create a new collection with all elements in reverse order. slice my $new = $collection->slice(4 .. 7); Create a new collection with all selected elements. # $collection contains ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E') $collection->slice(1, 2, 4)->join(' '); # "B C E" shuffle my $new = $collection->shuffle; Create a new collection with all elements in random order. size my $size = $collection->size; Number of elements in collection. sort my $new = $collection->sort; my $new = $collection->sort(sub {...}); Sort elements based on return value of callback and create a new collection from the results. # Sort values case-insensitive my $case_insensitive = $collection->sort(sub { uc($a) cmp uc($b) }); tap $collection = $collection->tap(sub {...}); Equivalent to "tap" in Mojo::Base. to_array my $array = $collection->to_array; Turn collection into array reference. 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') $collection->uniq->join(' '); # "foo bar baz" # $collection contains ([1, 2], [2, 1], [3, 2]) $collection->uniq(sub{ $_->[1] })->to_array; # "[[1, 2], [2, 1]]" with_roles $collection = $collection->with_roles('Mojo::Collection::Role::One'); Equivalent to "with_roles" in Mojo::Base. Note that role support depends on Role::Tiny (2.000001+). BUGS Report issues related to the format of this distribution or Perl 5.8 support to the public bugtracker.
