Package Exports

@starptech/webparser

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@starptech/webparser) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

@starptech/webparser

Optimized html parser for HTML5 Web Components.

Features

Can parse custom self-closing elements
Can parse tags and attributes case-sensitive
Can skip decoding of html entities
Can consume the first linefeed in pre, textarea or listing tags (is skipped by HTML5 spec)

Those features are very useful if you want to implement a HTML formatter or anything else where a less strict parser is needed to keep all informations in the ast.

Installation

npm install --save @starptech/webparser

Usage

This example shows how we parse HTML

const parser = new HtmlParser(options)
const result = parser.parse('<div></div>')
result.errors
result.rootNodes

API

`options.decodeEntities` (enabled by default)

Decode html entities in text and attributes according to HTML5 specification.

`options.ignoreFirstLf` (enabled by default)

Ignore first line feed of pre, textarea and listing tags according to HTML5 specification.

`options.selfClosingCustomElements` (disabled by default)

Allow custom self-closing elements. A custom element is an HTML tag which isn't part of the official HTML5 specification.

Credits
