how to parse html

[davidmaxwaterman]

Hi,

I have some perl code I'm trying to port to Qt and it uses HTML::TreeBuilder to parse some html, which enables me to extract various bit of data from that html.

I've had a dig through the Qt documentation, but I haven't been able to find anything to replace that part of the perl script.

Can someone enlighten me?

Thanks,

Max.

AFAIK there is no direct API to parse HTML file in Qt.

You can use QWebKit to get a DOM representation of the web page.

QWebElement provides convenient access to DOM elements in a QWebFrame:

You should be able to use the QtXml support, if the HTML is well-formed (ie, passes http://validator.w3.org/ at the HTML 4 "strict" level). (Unfortunately, very little HTML "in the wild" is well-formed.)

You can also use CHtmlContol, its an open source lib.
