HTML5 Parser for node.js

Example (With jQuery!)

var  HTML5 = require('html5'),
    Script = process.binding('evals').Script,
       sys = require('sys'),
        fs = require('fs'),
     jsdom = require('jsdom'),
    window = jsdom.createWindow(null, null, {parser: HTML5});

var parser = new HTML5.Parser({document: window.document});

var inputfile = fs.readFileSync('doc/jquery-example.html');
parser.parse(inputfile);

jsdom.jQueryify(window, 'deps/jquery/dist/jquery.js', function(window, jquery) {
	Script.runInNewContext('jQuery("p").append("<b>Hi!</b>")', window);
	sys.puts(window.document.innerHTML);

});

Interesting features

• Streaming parser: You can pass parser.parse an EventEmitter and the parser will keep adding data as it's received.

• HTML5 parsing algorithm. If you find something this can't parse, I'll want to know about it. It should make sense out of anything a browser can.

Installation

You'll need to initialize git submodules if you're pulling this from my git repository.

git submodules init

To give it a test, set up your environment, including the directory containing the built dom.js from jsdom:

export NODE_PATH=lib:deps/jsdom/lib

Or copy the contents of the jsdom lib directory to ~/.node_libraries/

and give it a run:

node test.js
