Package Exports

html-dom-parser
html-dom-parser/index.js
html-dom-parser/lib/client/html-to-dom.js

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 (html-dom-parser) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

html-dom-parser

HTML to DOM parser that works on both the server (Node.js) and the client (browser):

HTMLDOMParser(string[, options])

The parser converts an HTML string to a JavaScript object that describes the DOM tree.

Example

const parse = require('html-dom-parser');
parse('<p>Hello, World!</p>');

Output:

[
  Element {
    type: 'tag',
    parent: null,
    prev: null,
    next: null,
    startIndex: null,
    endIndex: null,
    children: [
      Text {
        type: 'text',
        parent: [Circular],
        prev: null,
        next: null,
        startIndex: null,
        endIndex: null,
        data: 'Hello, World!'
      }
    ],
    name: 'p',
    attribs: {}
  }
]

Install

NPM:

npm install html-dom-parser --save

Yarn:

yarn add html-dom-parser

CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/html-dom-parser@latest/dist/html-dom-parser.min.js"></script>
<script>
  window.HTMLDOMParser(/* string */);
</script>

Usage

Import or require the module:

// ES Modules
import parse from 'html-dom-parser';

// CommonJS
const parse = require('html-dom-parser');

Parse empty string:

parse('');

Output:

[];

Parse string:

parse('Hello, World!');

[
  Text {
    type: 'text',
    parent: null,
    prev: null,
    next: null,
    startIndex: null,
    endIndex: null,
    data: 'Hello, World!'
  }
]

Parse element with attributes:

parse('<p class="foo" style="color: #bada55">Hello, <em>world</em>!</p>');

Output:

[
  Element {
    type: 'tag',
    parent: null,
    prev: null,
    next: null,
    startIndex: null,
    endIndex: null,
    children: [ [Text], [Element], [Text] ],
    name: 'p',
    attribs: { class: 'foo', style: 'color: #bada55' }
  }
]

The server parser is a wrapper of htmlparser2 parseDOM but with the root parent node excluded.

The client parser mimics the server parser by using the DOM API to parse the HTML string.
