pQuery is a jQuery like html dom parser written in php. It is a fork of the ganon dom parser.
To get started using pQuery do the following.
- Require the pQuery library into your project using composer.
- Parse a snippet of html using
pQuery::parseStr()
orpQuery::parseFile()
to return a document object model (DOM). - Run jQuery like functions on the DOM.
The following example parses an html string and does some manipulation on it.
$html = '<div class="container">
<div class="inner verb">Hello</div>
<div class="inner adj">Cruel</div>
<div class="inner obj">World</div>
</div>';
$dom = pQuery::parseStr($html);
$dom->query('.inner')
->tagName('span');
$dom->query('.adj')
->html('Beautiful')
->tagName('i');
echo $dom->html();
pQuery is a fork of the ganon php processor. Most of the functionality is identical to ganon with the following exceptions.
- pQuery is a composer package.
- pQuery renames ganon's classes and puts them into a namespace.
- pQuery is used only with objects rather than functions so that it can be autoloaded.
- pQuery Adds the
IQuery
interface and thepQuery
object that define the jQuery-like interface for querying the dom. - pQuery implements more of jQuery's methods. See the
IQuery
interface for a list of methods. - pQuery supports adding tags to the dom using the
<div class="something"></div>
notation rather than justdiv
.
