<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1> |
| 59 |
<p>The <code>Whatpm::HTML</code> module contains HTML parser and serializer.</p> |
| 60 |
<p>The HTML parser can be used to construct the DOM tree representation |
| 61 |
from an HTML document. The parsing and tree construction are done |
| 62 |
as described in the Web Application 1.0 specification.</p> |
| 63 |
<p>The HTML serializer can be used to obtain the HTML document representation |
| 64 |
of a DOM tree (or a tree fragment thereof). The serialization |
| 65 |
is performed as described in the Web Applications 1.0 specification |
| 66 |
for <code>innerHTML</code> DOM attribute.</p> |
| 67 |
<p>This module is part of Whatpm - Perl Modules for |
| 68 |
Web Hypertext Application Technologies.</p> |
| 69 |
<p> |

<dt><strong><a name="item_parse_string">[<em>$doc</em> =] Whatpm::HTML->parse_string (<em>$s</em>, <em>$doc</em>[, <em>$onerror</em>]);</a></strong><br /> |
| 75 |
</dt> |
| 76 |
<dd> |
| 77 |
Parse a string <em>$s</em> as an HTML document. |
| 78 |
</dd> |
| 79 |
<dd> |
| 80 |
<p>The first argument, <em>$s</em>, MUST be a string. It is parsed |
| 81 |
as a sequence of characters representing an HTML document.</p> |
| 82 |
</dd> |
| 83 |
<dd> |
| 84 |
<p>The second argument, <em>$doc</em>, MUST be an empty read-write |
| 85 |
DOM <code>Document</code> object. The HTML DOM tree is constructed |
| 86 |
onto this <code>Document</code> object.</p> |
| 87 |
</dd> |
| 88 |
<dd> |
| 89 |
<p>The third argument, <em>$onerror</em>, MUST be a reference to |
| 90 |
the error handler code. Whenever a parse error is detected, |
| 91 |
this code is invoked with an argument that contains a |
| 92 |
useless string that might describe what is wrong. |
| 93 |
The code MAY throw an exception, so that whole the parsing |
| 94 |
process aborts. Otherwise, the parser will continue to |
| 95 |
process the input. The code MUST NOT modify <em>$s</em> or <em>$doc</em>. |
| 96 |
If it does, then the result is undefined. |
| 97 |
This argument is optional; if missing, any |
| 98 |
parse error makes that string being <code>warn</code>ed.</p> |
| 99 |
</dd> |
| 100 |
<dd> |
| 101 |
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: To be a conforming user agent, the code MUST either |
| 102 |
abort the processing by throwing an exception at the first |
| 103 |
invocation or MUST continue the processing until the parser |
| 104 |
stops.</p> |
| 105 |
</dd> |
| 106 |
<dd> |
| 107 |
<p>The method returns the DOM <code>Document</code> object (i.e. the second argument).</p> |
| 108 |
</dd> |
| 109 |
<dd> |
| 110 |
<p>Note that the <code>Whatpm::NanoDOM</code> module provides a non-conforming |
| 111 |
implementation of DOM that only implements a subset that |
| 112 |
is necessary for the purpose of <code>Whatpm::HTML</code>'s parsing and |
| 113 |
serializing. |
| 114 |
With this module, creating a new HTML <code>Document</code> object |
| 115 |
from a string containing HTML document might be coded as:</p> |
| 116 |
</dd> |
| 117 |
<dd> |
| 118 |
<pre> |
| 119 |
use Whatpm::HTML; |
| 120 |
use Whatpm::NanoDOM; |
| 121 |
my $doc = Whatpm::HTML->parse_string |
| 122 |
($s => Whatpm::NanoDOM::Document->new, $onerror);</pre> |
| 123 |
</dd> |
| 124 |
<p></p> |
| 125 |
<dt><strong><a name="item_get_inner_html"><em>$s</em> = Whatpm::HTML->get_inner_html (<em>$node</em>[, <em>$onerror</em>]);</a></strong><br /> |
| 126 |
</dt> |
| 127 |
<dd> |
| 128 |
Return the HTML serialization of a DOM node <em>$node</em>. |
| 129 |
</dd> |
| 130 |
<dd> |
| 131 |
<p>The first argument, <em>$node</em>, MUST be a DOM <code>Document</code>, |
| 132 |
<code>Element</code>, or <code>DocumentFragment</code> node.</p> |
| 133 |
</dd> |
| 134 |
<dd> |
| 135 |
<p>The second argument, <em>$onerror</em>, MUST be a reference to the |
| 136 |
error handling code. This code will be invoked if a descendant |
| 137 |
of <em>$node</em> is neither of <code>Element</code>, <code>Text</code>, <code>CDATASection</code>, |
| 138 |
<code>Comment</code>, <code>DocumentType</code>, nor <code>EntityReference</code>, so |
| 139 |
that an <code>INVALID_STATE_ERR</code> exception MUST be thrown. |
| 140 |
The code will be invoked with an argument, which is the node |
| 141 |
whose type is invalid. |
| 142 |
The argument <em>$onerror</em> is optional; if missing, any erroneous |
| 143 |
node is simply ignored.</p> |
| 144 |
</dd> |
| 145 |
<dd> |
| 146 |
<p>The method returns a reference to the <code>inner_html</code> attribute |
| 147 |
value, i.e. the HTML serialization of the <em>$node</em>.</p> |
| 148 |
</dd> |
