github.com/duragpal/html-parser-go
This repository provides a minimal HTML parser written in Go without using any external libraries. The parser reads an HTML string, breaks it down into elements, and constructs a hierarchical structure of nodes, allowing you to inspect or manipulate the HTML content programmatically.
The parser identifies two types of nodes:
<div>, <p>) and optional attributes.The parser tokenizes the HTML input and recursively constructs a tree of nodes. Each node can have a list of child nodes, making it easy to visualize or traverse the document structure.
For the HTML input:
<html>
<head><title>Sample Page</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to the Sample Page</h1>
<p>This is a <b>simple</b> HTML parser in Go.</p>
</body>
</html>
The output would look like:
<root>
<html>
<head>
<title>
Sample Page
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
Welcome to the Sample Page
</h1>
<p>
This is a
<b>
simple
</b>
HTML parser in Go.
</p>
</body>
</html>
</root>
The code is broken down into several key components:
To use the parser, simply include the code and call the Parse method with your HTML content.
Clone this repository and navigate to the directory:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/html-parser-go.git
cd html-parser-go
Run the code:
go run main.go
The sample HTML included in main.go will be parsed, and the output structure will be printed to the console.
parser := NewParser("<html><body><h1>Title</h1></body></html>")
root, err := parser.Parse()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
return
}
printNode(root, 0)
The parser’s output displays the HTML elements and text nodes in a tree-like format, preserving the original HTML hierarchy.
This parser is intended as a minimal example for learning purposes. It does not cover all HTML specifications, such as:
<img> or <br>.Feel free to open issues or submit pull requests if you’d like to improve this parser.
