=head1 NAME Whatpm::HTML - An HTML Parser =head1 SYNOPSIS use Whatpm::HTML; my $s = q<...>; # $doc = an empty DOM |Document| object my $on_error = sub { my $error_code = shift; warn $error_code, "\n"; }; Whatpm::HTML->parse_string ($s => $doc, $onerror); ## Then, |$doc| is the DOM representation of |$s|. =head1 DESCRIPTION The C module contains HTML parser and serializer. The HTML parser can be used to construct the DOM tree representation from an HTML document. The parsing and tree construction are done as described in the Web Application 1.0 specification. The HTML serializer can be used to obtain the HTML document representation of a DOM tree (or a tree fragment thereof). The serialization is performed as described in the Web Applications 1.0 specification for C DOM attribute. This module is part of Whatpm - Perl Modules for Web Hypertext Application Technologies. =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item [I<$doc> =] Whatpm::HTML->parse_string (I<$s>, I<$doc>[, I<$onerror>]); Parse a string I<$s> as an HTML document. The first argument, I<$s>, MUST be a string. It is parsed as a sequence of characters representing an HTML document. The second argument, I<$doc>, MUST be an empty read-write DOM C object. The HTML DOM tree is constructed onto this C object. The third argument, I<$onerror>, MUST be a reference to the error handler code. Whenever a parse error is detected, this code is invoked with an argument that contains a useless string that might describe what is wrong. The code MAY throw an exception, so that whole the parsing process aborts. Otherwise, the parser will continue to process the input. The code MUST NOT modify I<$s> or I<$doc>. If it does, then the result is undefined. This argument is optional; if missing, any parse error makes that string being Ced. The method returns the DOM C object (i.e. the second argument). Note that the C module provides a non-conforming implementation of DOM that only implements the subset that is necessary for the purpose of C's parsing and serializing. With this module, creating a new HTML C object from a string containing HTML document can be coded as: use Whatpm::HTML; use Whatpm::NanoDOM; my $doc = Whatpm::HTML->parse_string ($s => Whatpm::NanoDOM::Document->new, $onerror); =item I<$s> = Whatpm::HTML->get_inner_html (I<$node>[, I<$onerror>]); Return the HTML serialization of a DOM node I<$node>. The first argument, I<$node>, MUST be a DOM C, C, or C object. The second argument, I<$onerror>, MUST be a reference to the error handling code. This code will be invoked if a descendant of C<$node> is not of C, C, C, C, C, or C so that C MUST be thrown. The code will be invoked with an argument, which is the node whose type is invalid. This argument is optional; if missing, any such node is simply ignored. The method returns a reference to the C attribute value, i.e. the HTML serialization of the C<$node>. =back =head1 TO DO Tokenizer should emit a sequence of character tokens as one token to improve performance. A method that accepts a byte stream as an input. Charset detection algorithm. Setting inner_html. And there are many "TODO"s and "ISSUE"s in the source code. =head1 SEE ALSO Web Applications 1.0 Working Draft (aka HTML5) .
