Description:

html5lib 1.1

html5lib is a pure-python library for parsing HTML. It is designed to
conform to the WHATWG HTML specification, as is implemented by all major
web browsers.

Usage
Simple usage follows this pattern:
import html5lib
with open("mydocument.html", "rb") as f:
document = html5lib.parse(f)
or:
import html5lib
document = html5lib.parse("<p>Hello World!")
By default, the document will be an xml.etree element instance.
Whenever possible, html5lib chooses the accelerated ElementTree
implementation (i.e. xml.etree.cElementTree on Python 2.x).
Two other tree types are supported: xml.dom.minidom and
lxml.etree. To use an alternative format, specify the name of
a treebuilder:
import html5lib
with open("mydocument.html", "rb") as f:
lxml_etree_document = html5lib.parse(f, treebuilder="lxml")
When using with urllib2 (Python 2), the charset from HTTP should be
pass into html5lib as follows:
from contextlib import closing
from urllib2 import urlopen
import html5lib

with closing(urlopen("http://example.com/")) as f:
document = html5lib.parse(f, transport_encoding=f.info().getparam("charset"))
When using with urllib.request (Python 3), the charset from HTTP
should be pass into html5lib as follows:
from urllib.request import urlopen
import html5lib

with urlopen("http://example.com/") as f:
document = html5lib.parse(f, transport_encoding=f.info().get_content_charset())
To have more control over the parser, create a parser object explicitly.
For instance, to make the parser raise exceptions on parse errors, use:
import html5lib
with open("mydocument.html", "rb") as f:
parser = html5lib.HTMLParser(strict=True)
document = parser.parse(f)
When you’re instantiating parser objects explicitly, pass a treebuilder
class as the tree keyword argument to use an alternative document
format:
import html5lib
parser = html5lib.HTMLParser(tree=html5lib.getTreeBuilder("dom"))
minidom_document = parser.parse("<p>Hello World!")
More documentation is available at https://html5lib.readthedocs.io/.


Installation
html5lib works on CPython 2.7+, CPython 3.5+ and PyPy. To install:
$ pip install html5lib
The goal is to support a (non-strict) superset of the versions that pip
supports.


Optional Dependencies
The following third-party libraries may be used for additional
functionality:

lxml is supported as a tree format (for both building and
walking) under CPython (but not PyPy where it is known to cause
segfaults);
genshi has a treewalker (but not builder); and
chardet can be used as a fallback when character encoding cannot
be determined.



Bugs
Please report any bugs on the issue tracker.


Tests
Unit tests require the pytest and mock libraries and can be
run using the py.test command in the root directory.
Test data are contained in a separate html5lib-tests repository and included
as a submodule, thus for git checkouts they must be initialized:
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
If you have all compatible Python implementations available on your
system, you can run tests on all of them using the tox utility,
which can be found on PyPI.


Questions?
There’s a mailing list available for support on Google Groups,
html5lib-discuss,
though you may get a quicker response asking on IRC in #whatwg on
irc.freenode.net.

1.0
Released and unreleased on December 7, 2017. Badly packaged release.


0.999999999/1.0b10
Released on July 15, 2016

Fix attribute order going to the tree builder to be document order
instead of reverse document order(!).



0.99999999/1.0b9
Released on July 14, 2016

Added ordereddict as a mandatory dependency on Python 2.6.
Added lxml, genshi, datrie, charade, and all
extras that will do the right thing based on the specific
interpreter implementation.
Now requires the mock package for the testsuite.
Cease supporting DATrie under PyPy.
Remove PullDOM support, as this hasn’t ever been properly
tested, doesn’t entirely work, and as far as I can tell is
completely unused by anyone.
Move testsuite to py.test.
Fix #124: move to webencodings for decoding the input byte stream;
this makes html5lib compliant with the Encoding Standard, and
introduces a required dependency on webencodings.
Cease supporting Python 3.2 (in both CPython and PyPy forms).
Fix comments containing double-dash with lxml 3.5 and above.
Use scripting disabled by default (as we don’t implement
scripting).
Fix #11, avoiding the XSS bug potentially caused by serializer
allowing attribute values to be escaped out of in old browser versions,
changing the quote_attr_values option on serializer to take one of
three values, “always” (the old True value), “legacy” (the new option,
and the new default), and “spec” (the old False value, and the old
default).
Fix #72 by rewriting the sanitizer to apply only to treewalkers
(instead of the tokenizer); as such, this will require amending all
callers of it to use it via the treewalker API.
Drop support of charade, now that chardet is supported once more.
Replace the charset keyword argument on parse and related methods
with a set of keyword arguments: override_encoding, transport_encoding,
same_origin_parent_encoding, likely_encoding, and default_encoding.
Move filters._base, treebuilder._base, and treewalkers._base to .base
to clarify their status as public.
Get rid of the sanitizer package. Merge sanitizer.sanitize into the
sanitizer.htmlsanitizer module and move that to sanitizer. This means
anyone who used sanitizer.sanitize or sanitizer.HTMLSanitizer needs no
code changes.
Rename treewalkers.lxmletree to .etree_lxml and
treewalkers.genshistream to .genshi to have a consistent API.
Move a whole load of stuff (inputstream, ihatexml, trie, tokenizer,
utils) to be underscore prefixed to clarify their status as private.



0.9999999/1.0b8
Released on September 10, 2015

Fix #195: fix the sanitizer to drop broken URLs (it threw an
exception between 0.9999 and 0.999999).



0.999999/1.0b7
Released on July 7, 2015

Fix #189: fix the sanitizer to allow relative URLs again (as it did
prior to 0.9999/1.0b5).



0.99999/1.0b6
Released on April 30, 2015

Fix #188: fix the sanitizer to not throw an exception when sanitizing
bogus data URLs.



0.9999/1.0b5
Released on April 29, 2015

Fix #153: Sanitizer fails to treat some attributes as URLs. Despite how
this sounds, this has no known security implications. No known version
of IE (5.5 to current), Firefox (3 to current), Safari (6 to current),
Chrome (1 to current), or Opera (12 to current) will run any script
provided in these attributes.
Pass error message to the ParseError exception in strict parsing mode.
Allow data URIs in the sanitizer, with a whitelist of content-types.
Add support for Python implementations that don’t support lone
surrogates (read: Jython). Fixes #2.
Remove localization of error messages. This functionality was totally
unused (and untested that everything was localizable), so we may as
well follow numerous browsers in not supporting translating technical
strings.
Expose treewalkers.pprint as a public API.
Add a documentEncoding property to HTML5Parser, fix #121.



0.999
Released on December 23, 2013

Fix #127: add work-around for CPython issue #20007: .read(0) on
http.client.HTTPResponse drops the rest of the content.
Fix #115: lxml treewalker can now deal with fragments containing, at
their root level, text nodes with non-ASCII characters on Python 2.



0.99
Released on September 10, 2013

No library changes from 1.0b3; released as 0.99 as pip has changed
behaviour from 1.4 to avoid installing pre-release versions per
PEP 440.



1.0b3
Released on July 24, 2013

Removed RecursiveTreeWalker from treewalkers._base. Any
implementation using it should be moved to
NonRecursiveTreeWalker, as everything bundled with html5lib has
for years.
Fix #67 so that BufferedStream to correctly returns a bytes
object, thereby fixing any case where html5lib is passed a
non-seekable RawIOBase-like object.



1.0b2
Released on June 27, 2013

Removed reordering of attributes within the serializer. There is now
an alphabetical_attributes option which preserves the previous
behaviour through a new filter. This allows attribute order to be
preserved through html5lib if the tree builder preserves order.
Removed dom2sax from DOM treebuilders. It has been replaced by
treeadapters.sax.to_sax which is generic and supports any
treewalker; it also resolves all known bugs with dom2sax.
Fix treewalker assertions on hitting bytes strings on
Python 2. Previous to 1.0b1, treewalkers coped with mixed
bytes/unicode data on Python 2; this reintroduces this prior
behaviour on Python 2. Behaviour is unchanged on Python 3.



1.0b1
Released on May 17, 2013

Implementation updated to implement the HTML specification as of 5th May
2013 (SVN revision r7867).
Python 3.2+ supported in a single codebase using the six library.
Removed support for Python 2.5 and older.
Removed the deprecated Beautiful Soup 3 treebuilder.
beautifulsoup4 can use html5lib as a parser instead. Note that
since it doesn’t support namespaces, foreign content like SVG and
MathML is parsed incorrectly.
Removed simpletree from the package. The default tree builder is
now etree (using the xml.etree.cElementTree implementation if
available, and xml.etree.ElementTree otherwise).
Removed the XHTMLSerializer as it never actually guaranteed its
output was well-formed XML, and hence provided little of use.
Removed default DOM treebuilder, so html5lib.treebuilders.dom is no
longer supported. html5lib.treebuilders.getTreeBuilder("dom") will
return the default DOM treebuilder, which uses xml.dom.minidom.
Optional heuristic character encoding detection now based on
charade for Python 2.6 - 3.3 compatibility.
Optional Genshi treewalker support fixed.
Many bugfixes, including:

#33: null in attribute value breaks XML AttValue;
#4: nested, indirect descendant, <button> causes infinite loop;
Google Code 215: Properly
detect seekable streams;
Google Code 206: add
support for <video preload=…>, <audio preload=…>;
Google Code 205: add
support for <video poster=…>;
Google Code 202: Unicode
file breaks InputStream.


Source code is now mostly PEP 8 compliant.
Test harness has been improved and now depends on nose.
Documentation updated and moved to https://html5lib.readthedocs.io/.
