Delphi HTML Parser

This module lets you working with HTML documents as DOM tree and use XPath for searching tags.
It is very simple way to parse HTML.

This tested with version Delphi XE5,6

Requirements

OpenSSL (Demo project contains two required dll: libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll)

Usage

Add in Uses parser.pas; Next:

.. var DomTree: TDomTree; DomTreeNode: TDomTreeNode; HtmlTxt: string; NodeList:TNodeList; ValueList:TStringList; begin HtmlTxt:= NodeList:= TNodeList.Create; ValueList:= TStringList.Create;

DomTree:= TDomTree.Create;
DomTreeNode:= DomTree.RootNode;
If DomTreeNode.RunParse(HtmlTxt) then
  begin
    {your code
	 example:
	 DomTreeNode.FindXPath('//*[@id="TopBox"]/div[1]/div[@class="draw default"]'),NodeList,ValueList)}
	 ..
  end;	
..  

end;

And joy!!!

Available properties and methods: TDomTree

  • property Count - count of nodes
  • property RootNode - root node (TDomTreeNode)
  • property ParseErr - Tstringlist contains all parsing errors and warnings

TDomTreeNode

  • property Tag - name of tag
  • property AttributesTxt - string with all attributtes
  • property Attributes - parsed attributes (TDictionary<string, string>)
  • property Text - text
  • property TypeTag -
  • property Child - contains child's nodes (TChildList of TDomTreeNode)
  • property Parent - contains parent's node
  • property Owner - contains pointer to owner TDomTree
  • function FindNode - boolean function, if true then TNodeList contains found nodes
  • function FindTagOfIndex - boolean function, if true then TNodeList contains founded nodes
  • function GetAttrValue - returns value of attribute of current node
  • function GetComment - returns the set index comment in the current container node
  • function GetTagName - return name of tag + AttributesTxt
  • function GetText - returns the set index text in the current container node
  • function GetXPath - returns Xpath for current node
  • function RunParse - if parse is successfully then CHild property contains HTML DOM tree
  • function FindXPath - boolean function, if true then TNodeList contains found nodes
  • and TStringList contains found values of attribute, comment, text

Xpath support:

  • attributes - //*[@id="TopBox"]/div/@class

  • comment - //*[@id="TopBox"]/div/comment()[3]

  • text - //*[@id="TopBox"]/div/text()[2]

  • previous level - /../div[@class="draw default"]/img[2]/@alt

  • partial coincidence by search in value of attribute: /div[@class="draw] returned nodes [[div class="draw default"],[div class="draw"], [div class="draw any"]..] like Xpath's function contains. Note: Xpath always starts search from current node. If you want to do global search, you must start from root's node.
