PyML
A python HTML builder library.
Goals
- Fully functional html builder similar to the javascript node manipulation.
- Implement an html parser that returns a Document instance with the proper properties and children.
- Prettify JavaScript to fit in with the prettified html.
- Add more API methods.
- Add CSS selector support.
- Add styling configuration.
Usage
If you have ever manipulated html using JavaScript then this should be really intuitive. You just use the document to create a node. You then modify the node with the properties and children that you want. And insert that node into the document.
from PyML import Document
doc = Document()
doc.title = "Example title!"
print(doc)results in
<html>
<head>
<title>Example title!</title>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>Parsing html as a Document
Note: The parser is very experimental, that means that it might not be able to properly parse some html.
from PyML.parser import doc_from_string
html = """
<html>
<head>
<title>Example title!</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="heh">
<img src="myImage.png">
</div>
</body>
</html>
"""
doc = doc_from_string(html)
print(doc.title)
print(doc.find("img").properties["src"])Contributing
Anybody is free to contribute if they want, just make sure you follow the points listed below:
- Don't rename/move methods/objects without consulting me first.
- Don't introduce new functionality without explaining in-depth why we need said functionality (unless its from the Goals section)
- Your code must be PEP-8 compliable.
