## Usage

`htmlparser2` itself provides a callback interface that allows consumption of documents with minimal allocations.
For a more ergonomic experience, read [Getting a DOM](#getting-a-dom) below.

```javascript
const htmlparser2 = require("htmlparser2");
const parser = new htmlparser2.Parser({
    onopentag(name, attributes) {
        /*
         * This fires when a new tag is opened.
         *
         * If you don't need an aggregated `attributes` object,
         * have a look at the `onopentagname` and `onattribute` events.
         */
        if (name === "script" && attributes.type === "text/javascript") {
            console.log("JS! Hooray!");
        }
    },
    ontext(text) {
        /*
         * Fires whenever a section of text was processed.
         *
         * Note that this can fire at any point within text and you might
         * have to stich together multiple pieces.
         */
        console.log("-->", text);
    },
    onclosetag(tagname) {
        /*
         * Fires when a tag is closed.
         *
         * You can rely on this event only firing when you have received an
         * equivalent opening tag before. Closing tags without corresponding
         * opening tags will be ignored.
         */
        if (tagname === "script") {
            console.log("That's it?!");
        }
    },
});
parser.write(
    "Xyz <script type='text/javascript'>const foo = '<<bar>>';</ script>"
);
parser.end();
```

Output (with multiple text events combined):

```
--> Xyz
JS! Hooray!
--> const foo = '<<bar>>';
That's it?!
```

This example only shows three of the possible events.
Read more about the parser, its events and options in the [wiki](https://github.com/fb55/htmlparser2/wiki/Parser-options).

### Usage with streams

While the `Parser` interface closely resembles Node.js streams, it's not a 100% match.
Use the `WritableStream` interface to process a streaming input:

```javascript
const { WritableStream } = require("htmlparser2/lib/WritableStream");
const parserStream = new WritableStream({
    ontext(text) {
        console.log("Streaming:", text);
    },
});

const htmlStream = fs.createReadStream("./my-file.html");
htmlStream.pipe(parserStream).on("finish", () => console.log("done"));
```

## Getting a DOM

The `DomHandler` produces a DOM (document object model) that can be manipulated using the [`DomUtils`](https://github.com/fb55/DomUtils) helper.

```js
const htmlparser2 = require("htmlparser2");

const dom = htmlparser2.parseDocument(htmlString);
```

The `DomHandler`, while still bundled with this module, was moved to its [own module](https://github.com/fb55/domhandler).
Have a look at that for further information.

## Parsing RSS/RDF/Atom Feeds

```javascript
const feed = htmlparser2.parseFeed(content, options);
```

Note: While the provided feed handler works for most feeds,
you might want to use [danmactough/node-feedparser](https://github.com/danmactough/node-feedparser), which is much better tested and actively maintained.

## Performance

After having some artificial benchmarks for some time, **@AndreasMadsen** published his [`htmlparser-benchmark`](https://github.com/AndreasMadsen/htmlparser-benchmark), which benchmarks HTML parses based on real-world websites.

At the time of writing, the latest versions of all supported parsers show the following performance characteristics on GitHub Actions (sourced from [here](https://github.com/AndreasMadsen/htmlparser-benchmark/blob/e78cd8fc6c2adac08deedd4f274c33537451186b/stats.txt)):

## How does this module differ from [node-htmlparser](https://github.com/tautologistics/node-htmlparser)?

In 2011, this module started as a fork of the `htmlparser` module.
`htmlparser2` was rewritten multiple times and, while it maintains an API that's mostly compatible with `htmlparser` in most cases, the projects don't share any code anymore.

The parser now provides a callback interface inspired by [sax.js](https://github.com/isaacs/sax-js) (originally targeted at [readabilitySAX](https://github.com/fb55/readabilitysax)).
As a result, old handlers won't work anymore.

The `DefaultHandler` and the `RssHandler` were renamed to clarify their purpose (to `DomHandler` and `FeedHandler`). The old names are still available when requiring `htmlparser2`, your code should work as expected.
