html-parser
Advanced tools
Now with less explosions!
The purpose of this library is not to be the best XML parsing library ever conceived. Because it's not. It's meant to be an HTML/XML parser that doesn't require valid HTML/XML. It's also meant to act as a sanitizer, which is the main reason for it's existence.
For example, you can just shove a blob of text into it, and it will happily parse as if it were valid XML.
var htmlParser = require('html-parser');
var html = '<!doctype html><html><body onload="alert(\'hello\');">Yo<br />dawg</body></html>';
htmlParser.parse(html, {
openElement: function(name) { console.log('open: %s', name); },
closeOpenedElement: function(name, token) { console.log('close token: %s', token); },
closeElement: function(name) { console.log('close: %s', name); },
comment: function(value) { console.log('comment: %s', value); },
cdata: function(value) { console.log('cdata: %s', value); },
attribute: function(name, value) { console.log('attribute: %s=%s', name, value); },
docType: function(value) { console.log('doctype: %s', value); }
});
/*
doctype: html
open: html
close token: >
open: body
attribute: onload=alert('hello');
close token: >
open: br
close token: />
close: body
close: html
*/
var htmlParser = require('html-parser');
var html = '<script>alert(\'danger!\')</script><p onclick="alert(\'danger!\')">blah blah<!-- useless comment --></p>';
var sanitized = htmlParser.sanitize(html, {
elements: [ 'script' ],
attributes: [ 'onclick' ],
comments: true
});
console.log(sanitized);
//<p>blah blah</p>
