#When you call $tree->parse_file($filename), and the
#tree's ignore_ignorable_whitespace attribute is on (as it is
#by default), HTML::TreeBuilder's logic will manage to avoid
#creating some, but not all, nodes that represent ignorable
#whitespace. However, at the end of its parse, it traverses the
#tree and deletes any that it missed. (It does this with an
#around-method around HTML::Parser's eof method.)
#
#However, with $tree->parse($content), the cleanup-traversal step
#doesn't happen automatically -- so when you're done parsing all
#content for a document (regardless of whether $content is the only
#bit, or whether it's just another chunk of content you're parsing into
#the tree), call $tree->eof() to signal that you're at the end of the
#text you're inputting to the tree. Besides properly cleaning any bits
#of ignorable whitespace from the tree, this will also ensure that

=head1 NAME
HTML::TreeBuilder - Parser that builds a HTML syntax tree
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 5.07 of
HTML::TreeBuilder, released August 31, 2017
as part of L<HTML-Tree|HTML::Tree>.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use HTML::TreeBuilder 5 -weak; # Ensure weak references in use
foreach my $file_name (@ARGV) {
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new; # empty tree
$tree->parse_file($file_name);
print "Hey, here's a dump of the parse tree of $file_name:\n";
$tree->dump; # a method we inherit from HTML::Element
print "And here it is, bizarrely rerendered as HTML:\n",
$tree->as_HTML, "\n";
# Now that we're done with it, we must destroy it.
# $tree = $tree->delete; # Not required with weak references
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
(This class is part of the L<HTML::Tree|HTML::Tree> dist.)
This class is for HTML syntax trees that get built out of HTML
source. The way to use it is to:
1. start a new (empty) HTML::TreeBuilder object,
2. then use one of the methods from HTML::Parser (presumably with
C<< $tree->parse_file($filename) >> for files, or with
C<< $tree->parse($document_content) >> and C<< $tree->eof >> if you've got
the content in a string) to parse the HTML
document into the tree C<$tree>.
(You can combine steps 1 and 2 with the "new_from_file" or
"new_from_content" methods.)
2b. call C<< $root->elementify() >> if you want.
3. do whatever you need to do with the syntax tree, presumably
involving traversing it looking for some bit of information in it,
4. previous versions of HTML::TreeBuilder required you to call
C<< $tree->delete() >> to erase the contents of the tree from memory
when you're done with the tree. This is not normally required anymore.
See L<HTML::Element/"Weak References"> for details.
=head1 ATTRIBUTES
Most of the following attributes native to HTML::TreeBuilder control how
parsing takes place; they should be set I<before> you try parsing into
the given object. You can set the attributes by passing a TRUE or
FALSE value as argument. E.g., C<< $root->implicit_tags >> returns
the current setting for the C<implicit_tags> option,
C<< $root->implicit_tags(1) >> turns that option on,
and C<< $root->implicit_tags(0) >> turns it off.
=head2 implicit_tags
Setting this attribute to true will instruct the parser to try to
deduce implicit elements and implicit end tags. If it is false you
get a parse tree that just reflects the text as it stands, which is
unlikely to be useful for anything but quick and dirty parsing.
(In fact, I'd be curious to hear from anyone who finds it useful to
have C<implicit_tags> set to false.)
Default is true.
Implicit elements have the L<HTML::Element/implicit> attribute set.
=head2 implicit_body_p_tag
This controls an aspect of implicit element behavior, if C<implicit_tags>
is on: If a text element (PCDATA) or a phrasal element (such as
C<< <em> >>) is to be inserted under C<< <body> >>, two things
can happen: if C<implicit_body_p_tag> is true, it's placed under a new,
implicit C<< <p> >> tag. (Past DTDs suggested this was the only
correct behavior, and this is how past versions of this module
behaved.) But if C<implicit_body_p_tag> is false, nothing is implicated
-- the PCDATA or phrasal element is simply placed under
C<< <body> >>. Default is false.
=head2 no_expand_entities
This attribute controls whether entities are decoded during the initial
parse of the source. Enable this if you don't want entities decoded to
their character value. e.g. '&' is decoded to '&' by default, but
will be unchanged if this is enabled.
Default is false (entities will be decoded.)
=head2 ignore_unknown
This attribute controls whether unknown tags should be represented as
elements in the parse tree, or whether they should be ignored.
Default is true (to ignore unknown tags.)
=head2 ignore_text
Do not represent the text content of elements. This saves space if
all you want is to examine the structure of the document. Default is
false.
=head2 ignore_ignorable_whitespace
If set to true, TreeBuilder will try to avoid
creating ignorable whitespace text nodes in the tree. Default is
true. (In fact, I'd be interested in hearing if there's ever a case
where you need this off, or where leaving it on leads to incorrect
behavior.)
=head2 no_space_compacting
This determines whether TreeBuilder compacts all whitespace strings
in the document (well, outside of PRE or TEXTAREA elements), or
leaves them alone. Normally (default, value of 0), each string of
contiguous whitespace in the document is turned into a single space.
But that's not done if C<no_space_compacting> is set to 1.
Setting C<no_space_compacting> to 1 might be useful if you want
to read in a tree just to make some minor changes to it before
writing it back out.
This method is experimental. If you use it, be sure to report
any problems you might have with it.
=head2 p_strict
If set to true (and it defaults to false), TreeBuilder will take a
narrower than normal view of what can be under a C<< <p> >> element; if it sees
a non-phrasal element about to be inserted under a C<< <p> >>, it will
close that C<< <p> >>. Otherwise it will close C<< <p> >> elements only for
other C<< <p> >>'s, headings, and C<< <form> >> (although the latter may be
removed in future versions).
For example, when going thru this snippet of code,
<p>stuff
<ul>
TreeBuilder will normally (with C<p_strict> false) put the C<< <ul> >> element
under the C<< <p> >> element. However, with C<p_strict> set to true, it will
close the C<< <p> >> first.
In theory, there should be strictness options like this for other/all
elements besides just C<< <p> >>; but I treat this as a special case simply
because of the fact that C<< <p> >> occurs so frequently and its end-tag is
omitted so often; and also because application of strictness rules
at parse-time across all elements often makes tiny errors in HTML
coding produce drastically bad parse-trees, in my experience.
If you find that you wish you had an option like this to enforce
content-models on all elements, then I suggest that what you want is
content-model checking as a stage after TreeBuilder has finished
parsing.
=head2 store_comments
This determines whether TreeBuilder will normally store comments found
while parsing content into C<$root>. Currently, this is off by default.
=head2 store_declarations
This determines whether TreeBuilder will normally store markup
declarations found while parsing content into C<$root>. This is on
by default.
=head2 store_pis
This determines whether TreeBuilder will normally store processing
instructions found while parsing content into C<$root> -- assuming a
recent version of HTML::Parser (old versions won't parse PIs
correctly). Currently, this is off (false) by default.
It is somewhat of a known bug (to be fixed one of these days, if
anyone needs it?) that PIs in the preamble (before the C<< <html> >>
start-tag) end up actually I<under> the C<< <html> >> element.
=head2 warn
This determines whether syntax errors during parsing should generate
warnings, emitted via Perl's C<warn> function.
This is off (false) by default.
=head1 METHODS
Objects of this class inherit the methods of both HTML::Parser and
HTML::Element. The methods inherited from HTML::Parser are used for
building the HTML tree, and the methods inherited from HTML::Element
are what you use to scrutinize the tree. Besides this
(HTML::TreeBuilder) documentation, you must also carefully read the
HTML::Element documentation, and also skim the HTML::Parser
documentation -- probably only its parse and parse_file methods are of
interest.
=head2 new_from_file
$root = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file($filename_or_filehandle);
This "shortcut" constructor merely combines constructing a new object
(with the L</new> method, below), and calling C<< $new->parse_file(...) >> on
it. Returns the new object. Note that this provides no way of
setting any parse options like C<store_comments> (for that, call C<new>, and
then set options, before calling C<parse_file>). See the notes (below)
on parameters to L</parse_file>.
If HTML::TreeBuilder is unable to read the file, then C<new_from_file>
dies. The error can also be found in C<$!>. (This behavior is new in
HTML-Tree 5. Previous versions returned a tree with only implicit elements.)
=head2 new_from_content
$root = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content(...);
This "shortcut" constructor merely combines constructing a new object
(with the L</new> method, below), and calling C<< for(...){$new->parse($_)} >>
and C<< $new->eof >> on it. Returns the new object. Note that this provides
no way of setting any parse options like C<store_comments> (for that,
call C<new>, and then set options, before calling C<parse>). Example
usages: C<< HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content(@lines) >>, or
C<< HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_content($content) >>.
=head2 new_from_url
$root = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_url($url)
This "shortcut" constructor combines constructing a new object (with
the L</new> method, below), loading L<LWP::UserAgent>, fetching the
specified URL, and calling C<< $new->parse( $response->decoded_content) >>
and C<< $new->eof >> on it.
Returns the new object. Note that this provides no way of setting any
parse options like C<store_comments>.
If LWP is unable to fetch the URL, or the response is not HTML (as
determined by L<HTTP::Headers/content_is_html>), then C<new_from_url>
dies, and the HTTP::Response object is found in
C<$HTML::TreeBuilder::lwp_response>.
You must have installed LWP::UserAgent for this method to work. LWP
is not installed automatically, because it's a large set of modules
and you might not need it.
=head2 new
$root = HTML::TreeBuilder->new();
This creates a new HTML::TreeBuilder object. This method takes no
attributes.
=head2 parse_file
$root->parse_file(...)
[An important method inherited from L<HTML::Parser|HTML::Parser>, which
see. Current versions of HTML::Parser can take a filespec, or a
filehandle object, like *FOO, or some object from class IO::Handle,
IO::File, IO::Socket) or the like.
I think you should check that a given file exists I<before> calling
C<< $root->parse_file($filespec) >>.]
When you pass a filename to C<parse_file>, HTML::Parser opens it in
binary mode, which means it's interpreted as Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). If
the file is in another encoding, like UTF-8 or UTF-16, this will not
do the right thing.
One solution is to open the file yourself using the proper
C<:encoding> layer, and pass the filehandle to C<parse_file>. You can
automate this process by using L<IO::HTML/html_file>, which will use
the HTML5 encoding sniffing algorithm to automatically determine the
proper C<:encoding> layer and apply it.
In the next major release of HTML-Tree, I plan to have it use IO::HTML
automatically. If you really want your file opened in binary mode,
you should open it yourself and pass the filehandle to C<parse_file>.
The return value is C<undef> if there's an error opening the file. In
that case, the error will be in C<$!>.
=head2 parse
$root->parse(...)
[A important method inherited from L<HTML::Parser|HTML::Parser>, which
see. See the note below for C<< $root->eof() >>.]
=head2 eof
$root->eof();
This signals that you're finished parsing content into this tree; this
runs various kinds of crucial cleanup on the tree. This is called
I<for you> when you call C<< $root->parse_file(...) >>, but not when
you call C<< $root->parse(...) >>. So if you call
C<< $root->parse(...) >>, then you I<must> call C<< $root->eof() >>
once you've finished feeding all the chunks to C<parse(...)>, and
before you actually start doing anything else with the tree in C<$root>.
=head2 parse_content
$root->parse_content(...);
Basically a handy alias for C<< $root->parse(...); $root->eof >>.
Takes the exact same arguments as C<< $root->parse() >>.
=head2 delete
$root->delete();
[A previously important method inherited from L<HTML::Element|HTML::Element>,
which see.]
=head2 elementify
$root->elementify();
This changes the class of the object in C<$root> from
HTML::TreeBuilder to the class used for all the rest of the elements
in that tree (generally HTML::Element). Returns C<$root>.
For most purposes, this is unnecessary, but if you call this after
(after!!)
you've finished building a tree, then it keeps you from accidentally
trying to call anything but HTML::Element methods on it. (I.e., if
you accidentally call C<$root-E<gt>parse_file(...)> on the
already-complete and elementified tree, then instead of charging ahead
and I<wreaking havoc>, it'll throw a fatal error -- since C<$root> is
now an object just of class HTML::Element which has no C<parse_file>
method.
Note that C<elementify> currently deletes all the private attributes of
C<$root> except for "_tag", "_parent", "_content", "_pos", and
"_implicit". If anyone requests that I change this to leave in yet
more private attributes, I might do so, in future versions.
=head2 guts
@nodes = $root->guts();
$parent_for_nodes = $root->guts();
In list context (as in the first case), this method returns the topmost
non-implicit nodes in a tree. This is useful when you're parsing HTML
code that you know doesn't expect an HTML document, but instead just
a fragment of an HTML document. For example, if you wanted the parse
tree for a file consisting of just this:
<li>I like pie!
Then you would get that with C<< @nodes = $root->guts(); >>.
It so happens that in this case, C<@nodes> will contain just one
element object, representing the C<< <li> >> node (with "I like pie!" being
its text child node). However, consider if you were parsing this:
<hr>Hooboy!<hr>
In that case, C<< $root->guts() >> would return three items:
an element object for the first C<< <hr> >>, a text string "Hooboy!", and
another C<< <hr> >> element object.
For cases where you want definitely one element (so you can treat it as
a "document fragment", roughly speaking), call C<guts()> in scalar
context, as in C<< $parent_for_nodes = $root->guts() >>. That works like
C<guts()> in list context; in fact, C<guts()> in list context would
have returned exactly one value, and if it would have been an object (as
opposed to a text string), then that's what C<guts> in scalar context
will return. Otherwise, if C<guts()> in list context would have returned
no values at all, then C<guts()> in scalar context returns undef. In
all other cases, C<guts()> in scalar context returns an implicit C<< <div> >>
element node, with children consisting of whatever nodes C<guts()>
in list context would have returned. Note that that may detach those
nodes from C<$root>'s tree.
=head2 disembowel
@nodes = $root->disembowel();
$parent_for_nodes = $root->disembowel();
The C<disembowel()> method works just like the C<guts()> method, except
that disembowel definitively destroys the tree above the nodes that
are returned. Usually when you want the guts from a tree, you're just
going to toss out the rest of the tree anyway, so this saves you the
bother. (Remember, "disembowel" means "remove the guts from".)
=head1 INTERNAL METHODS
You should not need to call any of the following methods directly.
=head2 element_class
$classname = $h->element_class;
This method returns the class which will be used for new elements. It
defaults to HTML::Element, but can be overridden by subclassing or esoteric
means best left to those will will read the source and then not complain when
those esoteric means change. (Just subclass.)

=head1 SUBROUTINES
=head2 DEBUG
Are we in Debug mode? This is a constant subroutine, to allow
compile-time optimizations. To control debug mode, set
C<$HTML::TreeBuilder::DEBUG> I<before> loading HTML::TreeBuilder.
=head1 HTML AND ITS DISCONTENTS
HTML is rather harder to parse than people who write it generally
suspect.
Here's the problem: HTML is a kind of SGML that permits "minimization"
and "implication". In short, this means that you don't have to close
every tag you open (because the opening of a subsequent tag may
implicitly close it), and if you use a tag that can't occur in the
context you seem to using it in, under certain conditions the parser
will be able to realize you mean to leave the current context and
enter the new one, that being the only one that your code could
correctly be interpreted in.
Now, this would all work flawlessly and unproblematically if: 1) all
the rules that both prescribe and describe HTML were (and had been)
clearly set out, and 2) everyone was aware of these rules and wrote
their code in compliance to them.
However, it didn't happen that way, and so most HTML pages are
difficult if not impossible to correctly parse with nearly any set of
straightforward SGML rules. That's why the internals of
HTML::TreeBuilder consist of lots and lots of special cases -- instead
of being just a generic SGML parser with HTML DTD rules plugged in.
=head1 TRANSLATIONS?
The techniques that HTML::TreeBuilder uses to perform what I consider
very robust parses on everyday code are not things that can work only
in Perl. To date, the algorithms at the center of HTML::TreeBuilder
have been implemented only in Perl, as far as I know; and I don't
foresee getting around to implementing them in any other language any
time soon.
If, however, anyone is looking for a semester project for an applied
programming class (or if they merely enjoy I<extra-curricular>
masochism), they might do well to see about choosing as a topic the
implementation/adaptation of these routines to any other interesting
programming language that you feel currently suffers from a lack of
robust HTML-parsing. I welcome correspondence on this subject, and
point out that one can learn a great deal about languages by trying to
translate between them, and then comparing the result.
The HTML::TreeBuilder source may seem long and complex, but it is
rather well commented, and symbol names are generally
self-explanatory. (You are encouraged to read the Mozilla HTML parser
source for comparison.) Some of the complexity comes from little-used
features, and some of it comes from having the HTML tokenizer
(HTML::Parser) being a separate module, requiring somewhat of a
different interface than you'd find in a combined tokenizer and
tree-builder. But most of the length of the source comes from the fact
that it's essentially a long list of special cases, with lots and lots
of sanity-checking, and sanity-recovery -- because, as Roseanne
Rosannadanna once said, "it's always I<something>".
Users looking to compare several HTML parsers should look at the
source for Raggett's Tidy
(C<E<lt>http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/E<gt>>),
Mozilla
(C<E<lt>http://www.mozilla.org/E<gt>>),
and possibly root around the browsers section of Yahoo
to find the various open-source ones
(C<E<lt>http://dir.yahoo.com/Computers_and_Internet/Software/Internet/World_Wide_Web/Browsers/E<gt>>).
=head1 BUGS
* Framesets seem to work correctly now. Email me if you get a strange
parse from a document with framesets.
* Really bad HTML code will, often as not, make for a somewhat
objectionable parse tree. Regrettable, but unavoidably true.
* If you're running with C<implicit_tags> off (God help you!), consider
that C<< $tree->content_list >> probably contains the tree or grove from the
parse, and not C<$tree> itself (which will, oddly enough, be an implicit
C<< <html> >> element). This seems counter-intuitive and problematic; but
seeing as how almost no HTML ever parses correctly with C<implicit_tags>
off, this interface oddity seems the least of your problems.
=head1 BUG REPORTS
When a document parses in a way different from how you think it
should, I ask that you report this to me as a bug. The first thing
you should do is copy the document, trim out as much of it as you can
while still producing the bug in question, and I<then> email me that
mini-document I<and> the code you're using to parse it, to the HTML::Tree
bug queue at S<C<< <bug-html-tree at rt.cpan.org> >>>.
Include a note as to how it
parses (presumably including its C<< $tree->dump >> output), and then a
I<careful and clear> explanation of where you think the parser is
going astray, and how you would prefer that it work instead.
