html_forge

A robust and efficient HTML parsing library for Rust

🚀 Features

• Element Parsing: Easily parse HTML elements with attributes and nested children.
• Text Parsing: Extract and manage text nodes within your documents.
• Attribute Parsing: Handle element attributes with both single and double quotes.
• Comment Parsing: Parse comments safely, even those with special characters or nested hyphens.
• Error Handling: Gracefully manage parsing errors such as mismatched tags and unexpected end-of-file (EOF).

📦 Installation

To use html_forge, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
html_forge = "0.1.0"

Usage

1. Basic Parsing Example:

Here’s how you can parse a simple HTML snippet using html_forge:

use html_forge::parser::Parser;
use html_forge::dom::Node;

fn main() {
    let input = "<div class='container'><p>Hello, world!</p></div>".to_string();
    let mut parser = Parser::new(input);
    
    match parser.parse() {
        Ok(node) => println!("Parsed Node: {:?}", node),
        Err(err) => eprintln!("Parsing error: {:?}", err),
    }
}

2. Handling Errors:

html_forge gracefully handles common errors during parsing:

use html_forge::{parser::Parser, errors::ParseError};

fn main() {
    let input = "<div><p>Unclosed div".to_string();
    let mut parser = Parser::new(input);

    match parser.parse() {
        Err(ParseError::UnexpectedEOF) => eprintln!("Error: Unexpected end of file"),
        Err(ParseError::MismatchedClosingTag) => eprintln!("Error: Mismatched closing tag"),
        Ok(node) => println!("Parsed Node: {:?}", node),
        Err(err) => eprintln!("Other parsing error: {:?}", err),
    }
}

🧪 Testing
