modest_html

This library wraps functionality of lexborisovs Modest. It is written in in pure C99 and exposes a lot of useful features to parse and manipulate a html DOM. Internally it makes use of rxis excellent vec, map and dmt libraries.

Modest is a fast HTML renderer implemented as a pure C99 library with no outside dependencies.

Modest
- HTML5 parsing library in pure C99
- fully conformant with the HTML5 spec
vec
- A type-safe dynamic array implementation for C
map
- A type-safe generic hashmap implementation for C.
dmt
- Dynamic Memory Tracker (DMT) Library

Current Version

2.0.1

Example

For more examples please checkout tests.

#include "modest_html.h"

/*
modest_html is build around a workspace struct.
The workspace holds all allocated memory and frees it in html_destroy().
*/
html_workspace_t *w = html_init();

// parse some html
const char *html = "<p>Hello</p><p>World</p>";
int tree_index = html_parse_tree(w, html, strlen(html));

// serialize the tree into a buffer
int buffer_index = html_serialize_tree(w, tree_index, "body");

// get buffer and join into a string
html_vec_str_t *buffer = html_get_buffer(w, buffer_index);
char* result = html_vec_str_join(buffer, "");
printf("%s\n", result);

// test result
if(result != NULL && strcmp(result, "<body><p>Hello</p><p>World</p></body>") != 0){
  fprintf(stderr, "Failed\n");
  html_free(result);
  html_destroy(w);
  return false;
}

// free result
html_free(result);

// destroy our workspace
html_destroy(w);

return true;
