Floki - search inside HTML documents
=====
[](https://travis-ci.org/philss/floki)
Floki is useful to search inside HTML documents using query selectors (like jQuery).
Under the hood, it uses the [Mochiweb](https://github.com/mochi/mochiweb) HTML parser.
This version works with simple CSS selectors (without nesting or group).
List of selectors:
* class selectors - Ex.: `.class-name`
* id selectors - Ex.: `#element-id`
* tag selectors - Ex.: `img`
## API
To parse a HTML document, try:
```elixir
html = """
<html>
<body>
<div class="example"></div>
</body>
</html>
"""
Floki.parse(html)
# => {"html", [], [{"body", [], [{"div", [{"class", "example"}], []}]}]}
```
To find elements with the class `example`, try:
```elixir
Floki.find(html, ".example")
# => [{"div", [{"class", "example"}], []}]
```
To fetch some attribute from elements, try:
```elixir
Floki.attribute(html, ".example", "class") # href or src are good possibilities to fetch links
# => ["example"]
```
You can also get attributes from elements that you already have:
```elixir
Floki.find(html, ".example")
|> Floki.attribute("class")
# => ["example"]
```
