webparse

A small collection of functions that simplify the use of Enlive for parsing websites.

Installation

Add the following dependency to your project.clj file:

[webparse "0.1.0"]

Usage

Three functions:

href

A higher order fn that takes a node, extracts the :href attribute and, optionnaly takes a domain name as argument and adds it at the beginning of the URL.

• Use (href) instead of #(:href (:attrs %))
• Use (href "http://www.site.com") instead of #(str "http://www.site.com" (:href (:attrs %)))

text

Like html/text but a higher order fn that can optionally take a negative nbr of char to substract at beginning and at the end.

• Use (text -5) instead of #(apply str (drop 5 (html/text %)))
• Use (text -5 -2) instead of #(apply str (drop-last 2 (drop 5 (html/text %))))

select+

Like html/select but optionnaly accepts a trimming fn as a last selector item.

• Use (select+ a-node [:a (html/text)]) instead of (map (html/text) (html/select a-node [:a]))
