Re: Good solution to parse HTML?

Take a look into lua-gumbo. Simple code to extract tables looks like this.

gumbo = require('gumbo')

infile = arg[1]

doc=gumbo.parseFile(infile)

t=doc:getElementsByTagName('table')

for i=1,#t do

print(t[i].outerHTML)

end

Hello

I'd like to write a script to extract parts of an HTML page. Since Lua is so
small, it looks like a good match to run on an appliance.

A bit of research shows that it's not a good idea to use a regex engine, and
people recommend using an XML parser.

Is there a good tool I could use in Lua to parse HTML?

Thank you.
