Lua HTML Parser


* What is this

Lua HTML parser is an HTML parser written only in Lua.
It processes HTML input and produces a table which represents an HTML tree.

For example, if the following input is given:

<html><body>
<p>
  Click <a href="http://example.com/">here!</a>
<p>
  Hello
</p>
</body></html>

Then, the parser produces the following table:

{
  _tag = "#document",
  _attr = {},
  {
    _tag = "html",
    _attr = {},
    {
      _tag = "body",
      _attr = {},
      "\n",
      {
        _tag = "p",
        _attr = {},
        "\n  Click ",
        {
          _tag = "a",
          _attr = {href = "http://example.com/"}
          "here!",
        },
        "\n",
      },
      {
        _tag = "p",
        _attr = {},
        "\n  Hello\n",
      },
      "\n",
    }
  }
}
