| Summary : Bare-bones HTML parser
|
Description :
This module is a simple HTML parser. It is similar in concept to
HTML::Parser, but it differs from HTML::TreeBuilder in a couple of
important ways.
First, HTML::TreeBuilder knows which tags can contain other tags, which
start tags have corresponding end tags, which tags can exist only in the
< HEAD> portion of the document, and so forth. HTML::SimpleParse does not
know any of these things. It just finds tags and text in the HTML you give
it, it does not care about the specific content of these tags (though it
does distiguish between different _types_ of tags, such as comments,
starting tags like < b>, ending tags like < /b>, and so on).
Second, HTML::SimpleParse does not create a hierarchical tree of HTML
content, but rather a simple linear list. It does not pay any attention to
balancing start tags with corresponding end tags, or which pairs of tags
are inside other pairs of tags.
Because of these characteristics, you can make a very effective HTML filter
by sub-classing HTML::SimpleParse. For example, to remove all comments from
HTML:
package NoComment;
use HTML::SimpleParse;
AATTISA = qw(HTML::SimpleParse);
sub output_comment {}
package main;
NoComment->new($some_html)->output;
Historically, I started the HTML::SimpleParse project in part because of a
misunderstanding about HTML::Parser\'s functionality. Many aspects of these
two modules actually overlap. I continue to maintain the HTML::SimpleParse
module because people seem to be depending on it, and because beginners
sometimes find HTML::SimpleParse to be simpler than HTML::Parser\'s more
powerful interface. People also seem to get a fair amount of usage out of
the \'parse_args()\' method directly.
