There are several nice libraries of HTML Parsing using Swift
and Objective-C
like the followings:
Take a look in the following examples in the four libraries posted above, mainly parsed using XPath 2.0:
hpple:
let data = NSData(contentsOfFile: path)
let doc = TFHpple(htmlData: data)
if let elements = doc.searchWithXPathQuery("//a/@href[ends-with(.,'.txt')]") as? [TFHppleElement] {
for element in elements {
println(element.content)
}
}
NDHpple:
let data = NSData(contentsOfFile: path)!
let html = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)!
let doc = NDHpple(HTMLData: html)
if let elements = doc.searchWithXPathQuery("//a/@href[ends-with(.,'.txt')]") {
for element in elements {
println(element.children?.first?.content)
}
}
Kanna (Xpath and CSS Selectors):
let html = "<html><head></head><body><ul><li><input type="image" name="input1" value="string1value" class="abc" /></li><li><input type="image" name="input2" value="string2value" class="def" /></li></ul><span class="spantext"><b>Hello World 1</b></span><span class="spantext"><b>Hello World 2</b></span><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31080818/example.com">example(English)</a><a href="example.co.jp">example(JP)</a></body>"
if let doc = Kanna.HTML(html: html, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) {
var bodyNode = doc.body
if let inputNodes = bodyNode?.xpath("//a/@href[ends-with(.,'.txt')]") {
for node in inputNodes {
println(node.contents)
}
}
}
Fuzi (Xpath and CSS Selectors):
let html = "<html><head></head><body><ul><li><input type="image" name="input1" value="string1value" class="abc" /></li><li><input type="image" name="input2" value="string2value" class="def" /></li></ul><span class="spantext"><b>Hello World 1</b></span><span class="spantext"><b>Hello World 2</b></span><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31080818/example.com">example(English)</a><a href="example.co.jp">example(JP)</a></body>"
do {
// if encoding is omitted, it defaults to NSUTF8StringEncoding
let doc = try HTMLDocument(string: html, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
// XPath queries
for anchor in doc.xpath("//a/@href[ends-with(.,'.txt')]") {
print(anchor.stringValue)
}
} catch let error {
print(error)
}
The ends-with
function is part of Xpath 2.0.
SwiftSoup (CSS Selectors):
do{
let doc: Document = try SwiftSoup.parse("...")
let links: Elements = try doc.select("a[href]") // a with href
let pngs: Elements = try doc.select("img[src$=.png]")
// img with src ending .png
let masthead: Element? = try doc.select("div.masthead").first()
// div with class=masthead
let resultLinks: Elements? = try doc.select("h3.r > a") // direct a after h3
} catch Exception.Error(let type, let message){
print(message)
} catch {
print("error")
}
Ji (XPath):
let jiDoc = Ji(htmlURL: URL(string: "http://www.apple.com/support")!)
let titleNode = jiDoc?.xPath("//head/title")?.first
print("title: \(titleNode?.content)") // title: Optional("Official Apple Support")
I hope this helps you.
