README
- Vendor: bavix
- Package: Advanced HTML DOM
- Version:
- PHP Version: 7.1+
- Composer:
composer require bavix/advanced-html-dom
The goal of this project is to be a DOM-based drop-in replacement for PHP's simple html dom library.
How To Use - The same way as simple. If you use file/str_get_html then you don't need to change anything. If you are instantiating with new simple_html_dom()
then you will need to change that to new AdvancedHtmlDom()
What's Different - Mostly just formatting (spaces) in the html. This is added by DOM and there's no way around it. Some non-standard selectors have been dropped but many more standard ones have been added. For example: img[src!=foo]
was removed because it's not a valid selector. Added are things like a + b
and a ~ b
or even a.foo:not(.bar)
What's Better
- 10x-20x Performance increase
- Reduced memory requirement
- Support for many more css selectors
Features
- Supports full set of css pseudo selectors plus many jquery extras:
:not
,:has
,:contains
,:gt
,:lt
,:eq
- Use with css or xpath:
$doc->find('h3 a'), $doc->find('//h3//a')
- Jquery-style functions replace, wrap, unwrap, before after
- Nodeset math:
$doc->find('a')->minus($doc->find('.skip_me'))
- Lots of stuff that even BeautifulSoup and Nokogiri can't do:
$doc->search('span:lt(7):not(.foo)')
- Lots more features that haven't been documented yet.
