LinqToHtml is a simple utility that lets you use LINQ syntax to query HTML.
const string html = @"
<html>
<head>
<TITLE>The Title</TITLE>
</head>
<body bgcolor='#ffffff'>
<H1 id='hello' style='greeting' tabkey='1'>Hello</H1>
<H2 id='world' style='greeting' tabkey='2'>World</H2>
</body>
</html>";
var parsed = HTMLParser.Parse(html);
parsed
.Head
.Content
.ShouldBeEqualTo("The Title");
parsed
.ChildTags
.Count()
.ShouldBeEqualTo(2); // head, body
parsed
.DescendantTags
.Count(x => x.Parent.TypeEqualsIgnoreCase("HTML"))
.ShouldBeEqualTo(2); // head, body
parsed
.DescendantTags
.OfType("title")
.Any()
.ShouldBeFalse();
parsed
.DescendantTags
.OfType("title").IgnoreCase()
.Any()
.ShouldBeTrue();
parsed
.DescendantTags
.OfType("title").IgnoreCase()
.First()
.Parent
.TypeEqualsIgnoreCase("HEAD")
.ShouldBeTrue();
parsed
.DescendantTags
.WithAttributeNamed("style")
.Count()
.ShouldBeEqualTo(2);
parsed
.DescendantTags
.WithAttributeNamed("id")
.HavingValue("world")
.First()
.Content
.ShouldBeEqualTo("World");
mapping
public class Text
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public int TabKey { get; set; }
}
var text = new Text();
parsed
.DescendantTags
.OfType("H1")
.First()
.MapTo(text);
text.Id.ShouldBeEqualTo("hello");
text.TabKey.ShouldBeEqualTo(1);
note: the .Should... syntax comes from the [FluentAssert][FluentAssert] library.
The build script requires Ruby with rake installed.
- Run
InstallGems.batto get the ruby dependencies (only needs to be run once per computer) - open a command prompt to the root folder and type
raketo execute rakefile.rb
If you do not have ruby:
