Exercise: HTML Link Parser

the goal of this exercise is to create a package that makes it easy to parse an HTML file and extract all of the links (<a href="">...</a> tags). For each extracted link the package should return a data structure that includes both the href, as well as the text inside the link. Any HTML inside of the link can be stripped out, along with any extra whitespace including newlines, back-to-back spaces, etc.

Links will be nested in different HTML elements, and it is very possible that we will have to deal with HTML similar to code below.

<a href="/dog">
  <span>Something in a span</span>
  Text not in a span
  <b>Bold text!</b>
</a>

In situations like these we want to get output that looks roughly like:

Link{
  Href: "/dog",
  Text: "Something in a span Text not in a span Bold text!",
}

this project is part of exercising and exploring the GoLang features, I did this project practicing after HTML Link Parser exercise in calhoun.io.

Packages I Used:

• io
• golang.org/x/net/html
