The predicate xpath/3 selects a sub-structure of the DOM non-deterministically based on an xpath-like specification. Not all selectors of XPATH are implemented, but the ability to mix xpath/3 calls with arbitrary Prolog code provides a powerful tool for extracting information from XML parse-trees. @see http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath */ :- record element(name, attributes, content). %% xpath_chk(+DOM, +Spec, ?Content) is semidet. % % Semi-deterministic version of xpath/3. xpath_chk(DOM, Spec, Content) :- xpath(DOM, Spec, Content), !. %% xpath(+DOM, +Spec, ?Content) is nondet. % % Match an element in a DOM structure. The syntax is inspired by % XPath, using () rather than [] to select inside an element. % First we can construct paths using / and //: % % $ =|//|=Term : % Select any node in the DOM matching term. % $ =|/|=Term : % Match the root against Term. % $ Term : % Select the immediate children of the root matching Term. % % The Terms above are of type _callable_. The functor specifies % the element name. The element name '*' refers to any element. % The name =self= refers to the top-element itself and is often % used for processing matches of an earlier xpath/3 query. A term % NS:Term refers to an XML name in the namespace NS. Optional % arguments specify additional constraints and functions. The % arguments are processed from left to right. Defined conditional % argument values are: % % $ Integer : % The N-th element with the given name % $ =last= : % The last element with the given name. % $ =last= - IntExpr : % The IntExpr-th element counting from the last (0-based) % % Defined function argument values are: % % $ =self= : % Evaluate to the entire element % $ =content= : % Evaluate to the content of the element (a list) % $ =text= : % Evaluates to all text from the sub-tree as an atom % $ =normalize_space= : % As =text=, but uses normalize_space/2 to normalise % white-space in the output % $ =number= : % Extract an integer or float from the value. Ignores % leading and trailing white-space % $ =|@|=Attribute : % Evaluates to the value of the given attribute % % In addition, the argument-list can be _conditions_: % % $ Left = Right : % Succeeds if the left-hand unifies with the right-hand. % If the left-hand side is a function, this is evaluated. % The right-hand side is _never_ evaluated, and thus the % condition `content = content` defines that the content % of the element is the atom `content`. % $ contains(Haystack, Needle) : % Succeeds if Needle is a sub-string of Haystack. % $ XPath : % Succeeds if XPath matches in the currently selected % sub-DOM. Fot example, the following expression finds % an =h3= element inside a =div= element, where the =div= % element itself contains an =h2= child with a =strong= % child. % % == % //div(h2/strong)/h3 % == % % This is equivalent to the conjunction of Xpath goals below. % % == % ..., % xpath(DOM, //div, Div), % xpath(Div, h2/strong, _), % xpath(Div, h3, Result) % == % % Examples: % % Match each table-row in DOM: % % == % xpath(DOM, //tr, TR) % == % % Match the last cell of each tablerow in DOM. This example % illustrates that a result can be the input of subsequent xpath/3 % queries. Using multiple queries on the intermediate TR term % guarantee that all results come from the same table-row: % % == % xpath(DOM, //tr, TR), % xpath(TR, /td(last), TD) % == % % Match each =href= attribute in an element % % == % xpath(DOM, //a(@href), HREF) % == % % Suppose we have a table containing rows where each first column % is the name of a product with a link to details and the second % is the price (a number).
