# Fast HTML Parser [![NPM version](https://badge.fury.io/js/node-html-parser.png)](http://badge.fury.io/js/node-html-parser) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/taoqf/node-html-parser.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/taoqf/node-html-parser)
Fast HTML Parser is a _very fast_ HTML parser. Which will generate a simplified
DOM tree, with basic element query support.
Per the design, it intends to parse massive HTML files in lowest price, thus the
performance is the top priority. For this reason, some malformatted HTML may not
be able to parse correctly, but most usual errors are covered (eg. HTML4 style
no closing `<li>`, `<td>` etc).
## Install
```shell
npm install --save node-html-parser
```
## Performance
Faster than htmlparser2!
```shell
fast-html-parser: 2.18409 ms/file ± 1.37431
high5 : 4.55435 ms/file ± 2.51132
htmlparser : 27.6920 ms/file ± 171.588
htmlparser2-dom : 6.22320 ms/file ± 3.48772
htmlparser2 : 3.58360 ms/file ± 2.23658
hubbub : 16.1774 ms/file ± 8.95079
libxmljs : 7.19406 ms/file ± 7.04495
parse5 : 10.7590 ms/file ± 8.09687
```
Tested with [htmlparser-benchmark](https://github.com/AndreasMadsen/htmlparser-benchmark).
## Usage
```ts
import { parse } from 'node-html-parser';
const root = parse('<ul id="list"><li>Hello World</li></ul>');
console.log(root.firstChild.structure);
// ul#list
// li
// #text
console.log(root.querySelector('#list'));
// { tagName: 'ul',
// rawAttrs: 'id="list"',
// childNodes:
// [ { tagName: 'li',
// rawAttrs: '',
// childNodes: [Object],
// classNames: [] } ],
// id: 'list',
// classNames: [] }
console.log(root.toString());
// <ul id="list"><li>Hello World</li></ul>
root.set_content('<li>Hello World</li>');
root.toString(); // <li>Hello World</li>
```
```js
var HTMLParser = require('node-html-parser');
var root = HTMLParser.parse('<ul id="list"><li>Hello World</li></ul>');
```
## API
### parse(data[, options])
Parse given data, and return root of the generated DOM.
- **data**, data to parse
- **options**, parse options
```js
{
lowerCaseTagName: false, // convert tag name to lower case (hurt performance heavily)
script: false, // retrieve content in <script> (hurt performance slightly)
style: false, // retrieve content in <style> (hurt performance slightly)
pre: false // retrieve content in <pre> (hurt performance slightly)
}
```
### HTMLElement#text
Get unescaped text value of current node and its children. Like `innerText`.
(slow for the first time)
### HTMLElement#rawText
Get escpaed (as-it) text value of current node and its children. May have
`&amp;` in it. (fast)
### HTMLElement#structuredText
Get structured Text
### HTMLElement#trimRight()
Trim element from right (in block) after seeing pattern in a TextNode.
### HTMLElement#structure
Get DOM structure
### HTMLElement#removeWhitespace()
Remove whitespaces in this sub tree.
### HTMLElement#querySelectorAll(selector)
Query CSS selector to find matching nodes.
Note: only `tagName`, `#id`, `.class` selectors supported. And not behave the
same as standard `querySelectorAll()` as it will _stop_ searching sub tree after
find a match.
### HTMLElement#querySelector(selector)
Query CSS Selector to find matching node.
### HTMLElement#appendChild(node)
Append a child node to childNodes
### HTMLElement#firstChild
Get first child node
### HTMLElement#lastChild
Get last child node
### HTMLElement#attributes
Get attributes
### HTMLElement#rawAttributes
Get escaped (as-it) attributes
### HTMLElement#toString()
Same as [outerHTML](#htmlelementouterhtml)
### HTMLElement#innerHTML
Get innerHTML.
### HTMLElement#outerHTML
Get outerHTML.
### HTMLElement#set_content(content: string | Node | Node[])
Set content. **Notice**: Do not set content of the **root** node.
