gumbopp
Gumbopp is a small C++ library for parsing html. It uses the gumbo-parser library written by Google behind the scenes, however, you don't need to learn how to use gumbo-parser, or even have the library installed to use gumbopp.
Installation
Installation is pretty easy, the only prerequisite for installing gumbopp is a working Boost installation and a C++ compiler that support C++14.
The following commands should get everything installed for you:
git clone https://github.com/zacharygrafton/gumbopp
cd gumbopp
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make
make install
Documentation and Usage
Documentation is currently in the works, but the library is small and easy enough to comprehend, but here is a short example anyway:
#include <iostream>
#include <gumbopp/Parser.hpp>
#include <gumbopp/Document.hpp>
#include <gumbopp/Node.hpp>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
using namespace gumbopp;
// Parse some html
Document doc = Parser.parse("<html><head><title>Test</title></head>"
"<body><p>Test</p></body></html>");
// Get the root node of the document, which in this
// case should be the <html> tag
Node root = doc.GetRoot();
// Print out the name of the element, in this case it should
// be "html"
std::cout << root.GetElement() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Contributing
Contributions are always welcome, just follow some simple guidelines and I'll accept them without complaint or fuss.
- Roughly follow the LLVM coding guidelines (I'm not too picky)
- Issue pull requests against the develop branch, always
- Be polite
