I am trying to build a HTML editor for use with my HTML::Mason site. I intend for it to support nested tables, SPANs, and anchors. I am looking for a module that can help me parse existing HTML (custom or generated by my scripts) into a tree structure similar to:
my $html = [ { tag => 'table', id => 'maintable', width => 300, content =>
[ { tag => 'tr', content =>
[
{ tag => 'td', width => 200, content => "some content" },
{ tag => 'td', width => 100, content => "more content" }
]
]
]; # Not tested, but you get the idea
which would correspond to the following HTML:
<table id="maintable" width="300"> <tr> <td width="200">some content</td> <td width="100">more content</td> </tr> </table>
Once I have the data in the tree, I can easily modify it and transform it back into HTML. Is there a module that can help make this easier or should I go about this differently?
HTML::Parser doesn't build a tree, but you can use it to build one if neccessary. However, you might find building a tree is not neccessary. And this is less memory intensive.
Then there is HTML::Tree.
I'd rather generate a structure similar to what I have above instead of having a large tree of class objects that takes up more RAM and is probably slower. How would I go about generating a structure such as that above using HTML::Parser?
