Readme

This package has been renamed to 'html'.

Future releases of this package will happen in the html package.

To continue using html5lib without deprecation warnings, change your pubspec to depend on html5lib: '<=0.12.0'.

See the html package for details.

html5lib in Pure Dart

This is a pure Dart html5 parser. It's a port of html5lib from Python. Since it's 100% Dart you can use it safely from a script or server side app.

Eventually the parse tree API will be compatible with dart:html, so the same code will work on the client and the server.

Installation

Add this to your pubspec.yaml (or create it):

dependencies:
  html5lib: any

Then run the Pub Package Manager (comes with the Dart SDK):

pub install

Usage

Parsing HTML is easy!

import 'package:html5lib/parser.dart' show parse;
import 'package:html5lib/dom.dart';

main() {
  var document = parse(
      '<body>Hello world! <a href="www.html5rocks.com">HTML5 rocks!');
  print(document.outerHtml);
}

You can pass a String or list of bytes to parse. There's also parseFragment for parsing a document fragment, and HtmlParser if you want more low level control.
