Unreleased

0.36.3 - 2024-10-21

This release contains some performance improvements, thanks to @ypconstante.

Fixed

0.36.2 - 2024-04-26

Added

  • Implement the Inspect protocol for the Floki.HTMLTree struct. This struct is currently private. Thank you @vittoriabitton.

Fixed

0.36.1 - 2024-03-18

Fixed

  • Fix typespec of get_by_id/2.

0.36.0 - 2024-03-01

Added

  • Add Floki.get_by_id/1 that returns one element by ID or nil. Thanks @SteffenDE.

Changed

  • Improve options validation with Keyword.validate!/2. This is not a change in APIs, but the error messages and opts validation should be standardized now. Thanks @vittoriabitton.

Removed

  • Drop support for Elixir v1.12.

0.35.4 - 2024-02-19

Besides the fix described below, this release also contains more performance improvements, thanks to @ypconstante.

Fixed

0.35.3 - 2024-01-25

This release has great performance improvements, thanks to the PRs from @ypconstante!

Most of the main functions, such as Floki.raw_html/2 and Floki.find/2 are faster and are using less memory. It's something like twice as fast, and half usage of memory for find/2, for example.

Fixed

  • Add :leex to Mix compilers. Fixes the build when running with dev version of Elixir. Thanks @wojtekmach.

  • Fix Floki.raw_html/2 when a tree using attributes as maps is given. Thanks @SupaMic.

  • Add a guard to Floki.find/2 so people can have a better error message when an invalid input is given. Thanks @Hajto.

  • Fix parsers to consider IO data as inputs. This may change in the next version of Floki, as I plan to drop support for IO data. Thanks @ypconstante.

Removed

  • Remove outdated Gleam wrapper code. The external functions syntax in Gleam has changed. So now the wrapper is not needed anymore. Thanks @michallepicki.

0.35.2 - 2023-10-25

Fixed

  • Enable usage of IO data by removing a guard for binaries in the main parser module.

0.35.1 - 2023-10-16

Fixed

0.35.0 - 2023-10-13

Added

  • Add support for parsing attributes as maps.

    This makes parse_document/2 and parse_fragment/2 accept the option :attributes_as_maps to change the behaviour and return attributes as maps instead of lists of tuples. The only parser that does not support it yet is the fast_html.

Changed

  • Drop support for Elixir v1.11.

  • Change the log level of parsing logger calls from "info" to "debug". This will help to reduce the amount of noise in production apps.

0.34.3 - 2023-06-02

Added

  • Add boolean option :include_inputs to Floki.text/2 that changes the result of this function to include the values of inputs. So if there is any input with a "value" attribute, we now include that value if this option is set to true. Thanks @viniciusmuller.

Fixed

  • Fix find of elements by classes that contain colons. This is useful for when people are trying to find elements that contain Tailwind classes. Thanks @viniciusmuller.

  • Fix some typespecs that were using types from private modules. This is a fix to the documentation.

0.34.2 - 2023-02-24

Added

0.34.1 - 2023-02-11

Fixed

  • Fix pseudo-class ":not" selector parsing halting point. This is a fix for when a "pseudo-class" ":not" that contains an attribute selector is followed by another selector. This is an example: "a:not([class]), div".

  • Ignore decimal numeric char ref when number is negative.

0.34.0 - 2022-11-03

Added

  • User configurable "self-closing" tags. Now it's possible to define which tags are considered "self-closing". Thanks @inoas.

Fixed

  • Allow attribute values to not be escaped. This fixes Floki.raw_html/2 when used with the option encode: false. Thanks @juanazam.
  • Fix traverse_and_update/3 spec. Thanks @WLSF.

Changed

  • Drop support for Elixir 1.9 and 1.10.
  • Remove html_entities dependency. We now use an internal encoder/decoder for entities.
  • Change the main branch name to main.

0.33.1 - 2022-06-28

Fixed

  • Remove some warnings for unused code.

0.33.0 - 2022-06-28

0.32.0 - 2021-10-18

  • Documentation Improvements - thanks @kianmeng

0.29.0 - 2020-10-02

Added

  • Add Floki.find_and_update/3 that updates nodes inside a tree, like traverse and update but without allowing changes in the children nodes. There for the tree cannot grow in size, but can have nodes removed.

Changed

  • Add setup to run our test suite against all parsers on CI - thanks @rinpatch
  • Add Floki.parse_document/1 and Floki.parse_fragment/1 in order to correct parse documents and fragments of documents - it also prevents the confusion and inconsistency of parse/1.
  • Configure dialyxir in order to run Dialyzer easily.

Changed

  • Deprecate Floki.parse/1 and all the functions that uses it underneath. This means that all the functions that accepted HTML as binary are deprecated as well. This includes find/2, attr/4, filter_out/2, text/2 and attribute/2. The recommendation is to use those functions with an already parsed document or fragment.
  • Remove support for Elixir 1.5.

Added

0.4.1 - 2015-09-18

0.4.0 - 2015-09-17

Added

  • A robust representation of selectors in order to enable queries using a mix of selector types, such as classes with attributes, attributes with types, classes with classes and so on. Here is a list with examples of what is possible now:
    • Floki.find(html, "a.foo")
    • Floki.find(html, "a.foo[data-action=post]")
    • Floki.find(html, ".foo.bar")
    • Floki.find(html, "a.foo[href$='.org']") Thanks to @licyeus to point out the issue!
  • Include mochiweb in the applications list at mix.exs - thanks @EricDykstra

Changed

  • Floki.find/2 will now return a list instead of tuple when searching only by IDs. For now on, Floki should always return the results inside a list, even if it's an ID match.

Removed

  • Floki.find/2 does not accept tuples as selectors anymore. This is because with the robust selectors representation, it won't be necessary to query directly using tuples or another data structures rather than string.

Fixed

  • Fix parse/1 when parsing a part of HTML without a root node - @antonmi

  • Option for Floki.text/2 to disable deep search and use flat search instead.

  • Consider doctests in the test suite.

0.1.1 - 2015-03-25
