Package com.renomad.minum.htmlparsing

package com.renomad.minum.htmlparsing
Converts HTML text into a Java data structure. It processes quickly, and can provide an ability to search for HTML elements by attributes.

Here is an example of a test exercising the parser: 


     @Test
     public void test_HtmlParser_Details1() {
         String input = "<br foo=bar />";
         var expected = List.of(
                 new HtmlParseNode(
                         ParseNodeType.ELEMENT,
                         new TagInfo(TagName.BR, Map.of("foo", "bar")),
                         List.of(),
                         ""));
         List<HtmlParseNode> result = new HtmlParser().parse(input);
         assertEquals(expected, result);
     }

Some of the testing library depends on this framework, such as FunctionalTesting.TestResponse.searchOne(com.renomad.minum.htmlparsing.TagName, java.util.Map). This is heavily used in the tests on Minum, as well as being available to applications, such as this example from the Memoria project: 


        logger.test("GET the detail view of a person");
         {
             var response = ft.get("person?id=" + personId);
             assertEquals(response.searchOne(TagName.H2, Map.of("class","lifespan-name")).innerText().trim(), "John Doe");
             assertEquals(response.searchOne(TagName.SPAN, Map.of("class","lifespan-era")).innerText().trim(), "November 14, 1917 to March 19, 2003");
         }
