=======
HashTML is a gem for parsing HTML documents to Ruby Hash-like objects
## Installation
HashTML is available as a RubyGem:
gem install hashtml
## Usage
HashTML parses a Nokogiri::HTML::Document or anything that responds
to to_s with a string of valid HTML.
A HashTML object corresponding to the data structure of the given HTML
is generated.
### Example:
html = <<-HTML
hello world!
HTML
hashtml = HashTML.new(html)
hashtml.inspect # => #, #"d1", "style"=>"color: blue"}, @children=[#, #]>, #]>, #, #"d2", "style"=>"color: green"}, @children=[#, #]>, #]>, #]>]>]>>
HashTML allows you to convert the object to a Ruby Hash with to_h.
### Example:
html = <<-HTML
hello world!
HTML
hashtml = HashTML.new(html)
hashtml.to_h # => {"document"=>{:attributes=>{}, :children=>[{"html"=>{:attributes=>{}, :children=>[{"body"=>{:attributes=>{}, :children=>[{:text=>"\n "}, {"div"=>{:attributes=>{"id"=>"d1", "style"=>"color: blue"}, :children=>[{:text=>"\n "}, {"h1"=>{:attributes=>{}, :children=>[{:text=>"hello world!"}]}}, {:text=>"\n "}]}}, {:text=>"\n "}, {"div"=>{:attributes=>{"id"=>"d2", "style"=>"color: green"}, :children=>[{:text=>"\n "}, {"p"=>{:attributes=>{}, :children=>[{:text=>"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."}]}}, {:text=>"\n "}]}}, {:text=>"\n "}]}}]}}]}}
You can access elements and change them simply by "navigating" trough them.
And when you're done, simply regenerate your HTML by doing to_html!
### Example:
html = <<-HTML
Worried about navigating and having tons of elements with the same tag at the same level?
That's not a problem! Just identify the node by it's attributes!
### Example:
html = <<-HTML
hello world!
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
