HTML data extraction library
Project description
Pickaxe
Pickaxe is a Python package for structured data extraction from HTML documents. It provides a simple and intuitive API for parsing HTML documents, and automatically extracting structured data from them.
Features
- Written in Rust: Pickaxe is written in Rust, which makes it fast and memory-efficient.
- Robust: Pickaxe uses the
html5everandselectorscrate for browser-grade HTML parsing and CSS selector matching. - CSS Selectors & XPath: Pickaxe supports both CSS selectors and (simple) XPath expressions for querying HTML documents.
Quick Start
Python
Installation
pip install python-pickaxe
Basic Usage
from pickaxe import HtmlDocument
# Parse an HTML document
document = HtmlDocument.from_str("<html><body><h1>Hello, World!</h1></body></html>")
# Access elements using CSS selectors or XPath expressions
heading = document.find("h1")
print(heading.inner_text) # Output: Hello, World!
heading = document.find_xpath("//h1")
print(heading.inner_text) # Output: Hello, World!
Rust
Installation
cargo add pickaxe
Basic Usage
use pickaxe::HtmlDocument;
fn main() {
// Parse an HTML document
let document = HtmlDocument::from_str("<html><body><h1>Hello, World!</h1></body></html>").unwrap();
// Access elements using CSS selectors or XPath expressions
let heading = document.find("h1").unwrap();
println!("{}", heading.inner_text()); // Output: Hello, World!
let heading = document.find_xpath("//h1").unwrap();
println!("{}", heading.inner_text()); // Output: Hello, World!
