com.itextpdf.styledxmlparser.jsoup.select Documentation Differences

This file contains all the changes in documentation in the package com.itextpdf.styledxmlparser.jsoup.select as colored differences. Deletions are shown like this , and additions are shown like this.
If no deletions or additions are shown in an entry, the HTML tags will be what has changed. The new HTML tags are shown in the differences. If no documentation existed, and then some was added in a later version, this change is noted in the appropriate class pages of differences, but the change is not shown on this page. Only changes in existing text are shown here. Similarly, documentation which was inherited from another class or interface is not shown here.
Note that an HTML error in the new documentation may cause the display of other documentation changes to be presented incorrectly. For instance, failure to close a tag will cause all subsequent paragraphs to be displayed differently.

Class Elements, Elements addClass(String)

Add the class name to every matched element's {@code class} attribute. @param className class name to add @return this
Class Elements, String attr(String)

Get an attribute value from the first matched element that has the attribute. @param attributeKey The attribute key. @return The attribute value from the first matched element that has the attribute.. If no elements were matched (isEmpty() == true), or if the no elements have the attribute, returns empty string. @see #hasAttr(String)
Class Elements, Object clone()

Creates a deep copy of these elements. @return a deep copy
Class Elements, boolean hasAttr(String)

Checks if any of the matched elements have this attribute set defined. @param attributeKey attribute key @return true if any of the elements have the attribute; false if none do.
Class Elements, boolean hasClass(String)

Determine if any of the matched elements have this class name set in their {@code class} attribute. @param className class name to check for @return true if any do, false if none do
Class Elements, Elements remove()

Remove each matched element from the DOM. This is similar to setting the outer HTML of each element to nothing.

E.g. HTML: {@code

Hello

there

}
doc.select("p").remove();
HTML = {@code
}

Note that this method should not be used to clean user-submitted HTML; rather, use com.itextpdf.styledxmlparser.jsoup.safety.Cleaner to clean HTML. @return this, for chaining @see Element#empty() @see #empty()

Class Elements, Elements removeClass(String)

Remove the class name from every matched element's {@code class} attribute, if present. @param className class name to remove @return this
Class Elements, Elements tagName(String)

Update (rename) the tag name of each matched element. For example, to change each {@code } to a {@code }, do {@code doc.select("i").tagName("em");} @param tagName the new tag name @return this, for chaining @see Element#tagName(String)
Class Elements, String text()

Get the combined text of all the matched elements.

Note that it is possible to get repeats if the matched elements contain both parent elements and their own children, as the Element.text() method returns the combined text of a parent and all its children. @return string of all text: unescaped and no HTML. @see Element#text() @see #eachText()

Class Elements, Elements toggleClass(String)

Toggle the class name on every matched element's {@code class} attribute. @param className class name to add if missing, or remove if present, from every element. @return this
Class Elements, Elements unwrap()

Removes the matched elements from the DOM, and moves their children up into their parents. This has the effect of dropping the elements but keeping their children.

This is useful for e.g removing unwanted formatting elements but keeping their contents. E.g. with HTML:

{@code

One Two
}

{@code doc.select("font").unwrap();}

HTML = {@code

One Two
} @return this (for chaining) @see Node#unwrap
Class Elements, Elements wrap(String)

Wrap the supplied HTML around each matched elements. For example, with HTML {@code

This is Jsoup

}, doc.select("b").wrap(""); becomes {@code

This is jsoup

} @param html HTML to wrap around each element, e.g. {@code
}. Can be arbitrarily deep. @return this (for chaining) @see Element#wrap

Class NodeVisitor

Node visitor interface. Provide an implementing class to NodeTraversor to iterate through nodes.

This interface provides two methods, {@code head} and {@code tail}. The head method is called when the node is first seen, and the tail method when all of the node's children have been visited. As an example, {@code head} can be used to create emit a start tag for a node, and {@code tail} to create the end tag.

Class NodeVisitor, void head(Node, int)

Callback for when a node is first visited.

The node may be modified (e.g. Node.attr(String) or replaced Node.replaceWith(Node)). If it's {@code instanceOf Element}, you may cast it to an Element and access those methods.

Note that nodes may not be removed during traversal using this method; use NodeTraversor.filter(NodeFilter, Node) with a NodeFilter.FilterResult.REMOVE return instead. @param node the node being visited. @param depth the depth of the node, relative to the root node. E.g., the root node has depth 0, and a child node of that will have depth 1.

Class NodeVisitor, void tail(Node, int)

Callback for when a node is last visited, after all of its descendants have been visited.

Note that replacement with Node.replaceWith(Node) is not supported in {@code tail}. @param node the node being visited. @param depth the depth of the node, relative to the root node. E.g., the root node has depth 0, and a child node of that will have depth 1.


Class QueryParser, Evaluator parse(String)

Parse a CSS query into an Evaluator. @param query CSS query @return Evaluator Evaluator @see Selector selector query syntax

Class Selector

CSS-like element selector, that finds elements matching a query.

Selector syntax

A selector is a chain of simple selectors, separated by combinators. Selectors are case insensitive (including against elements, attributes, and attribute values).

The universal selector (*) is implicit when no element selector is supplied (i.e. {@code *.header} and {@code .header} is equivalent).

Pattern Matches Example
* any element *
tag elements with the given tag name div
*|E elements of type E in any namespace ns *|name finds elements
ns|E elements of type E in the namespace ns fb|name finds elements
#id elements with attribute ID of "id" div#wrap, #logo
.class elements with a class name of "class" div.left, .result
[attr] elements with an attribute named "attr" (with any value) a[href], [title]
[^attrPrefix] elements with an attribute name starting with "attrPrefix". Use to find elements with HTML5 datasets [^data-], div[^data-]
[attr=val] elements with an attribute named "attr", and value equal to "val" img[width=500], a[rel=nofollow]
[attr="val"] elements with an attribute named "attr", and value equal to "val" span[hello="Cleveland"][goodbye="Columbus"], a[rel="nofollow"]
[attr^=valPrefix] elements with an attribute named "attr", and value starting with "valPrefix" a[href^=http:]
[attr$=valSuffix] elements with an attribute named "attr", and value ending with "valSuffix" img[src$=.png]
[attr*=valContaining] elements with an attribute named "attr", and value containing "valContaining" a[href*=/search/]
[attr~=regex] elements with an attribute named "attr", and value matching the regular expression img[src~=(?i)\\.(png|jpe?g)]
The above may be combined in any order div.header[title]

Combinators

E F an F element descended from an E element div a, .logo h1
E {@literal >} F an F direct child of E ol {@literal >} li
E + F an F element immediately preceded by sibling E li + li, div.head + div
E ~ F an F element preceded by sibling E h1 ~ p
E, F, G all matching elements E, F, or G a[href], div, h3

Pseudo selectors

:lt(n) elements whose sibling index is less than n td:lt(3) finds the first 3 cells of each row
:gt(n) elements whose sibling index is greater than n td:gt(1) finds cells after skipping the first two
:eq(n) elements whose sibling index is equal to n td:eq(0) finds the first cell of each row
:has(selector) elements that contains at least one element matching the selector div:has(p) finds divs divs that contain p elements.
div:has(>
a) selects div elements that have at least one direct child a element.
:not(selector) elements that do not match the selector. See also Elements.not(String) div:not(.logo) finds all divs that do not have the "logo" class.

div:not(:has(div)) finds divs that do not contain divs.

:contains(text) elements that contains the specified text. The search is case insensitive. The text may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. p:contains(jsoup) finds p elements containing the text "jsoup".
:matches(regex) elements whose text matches the specified regular expression. The text may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. td:matches(\\d+) finds table cells containing digits. div:matches((?i)login) finds divs containing the text, case insensitively.
:containsOwn(text) elements that directly contain the specified text. The search is case insensitive. The text must appear in the found element, not any of its descendants. p:containsOwn(jsoup) finds p elements with own text "jsoup".
:matchesOwn(regex) elements whose own text matches the specified regular expression. The text must appear in the found element, not any of its descendants. td:matchesOwn(\\d+) finds table cells directly containing digits. div:matchesOwn((?i)login) finds divs containing the text, case insensitively.
:containsData(data) elements that contains the specified data. The contents of {@code script} and {@code style} elements, and {@code comment} nodes (etc) are considered data nodes, not text nodes. The search is case insensitive. The data may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. script:contains(jsoup) finds script elements containing the data "jsoup".
The above may be combined in any order and with other selectors .light:contains(name):eq(0)
:matchText treats text nodes as elements, and so allows you to match against and select text nodes.

Note that using this selector will modify the DOM, so you may want to {@code clone} your document before using.

{@code p:matchText:firstChild} with input {@code

One
Two

} will return one com.itextpdf.styledxmlparser.jsoup.nodes.PseudoTextElement with text "{@code One}".

Structural pseudo selectors

:root The element that is the root of the document. In HTML, this is the html element :root
:nth-child(an+b)

elements that have an+b-1 siblings before it in the document tree, for any positive integer or zero value of n, and has a parent element. For values of a and b greater than zero, this effectively divides the element's children into groups of a elements (the last group taking the remainder), and selecting the bth element of each group. For example, this allows the selectors to address every other row in a table, and could be used to alternate the color of paragraph text in a cycle of four. The a and b values must be integers (positive, negative, or zero). The index of the first child of an element is 1. In addition to this, :nth-child() can take odd and even as arguments instead. odd has the same signification as 2n+1, and even has the same signification as 2n.

tr:nth-child(2n+1) finds every odd row of a table. :nth-child(10n-1) the 9th, 19th, 29th, etc, element. li:nth-child(5) the 5h li
:nth-last-child(an+b) elements that have an+b-1 siblings after it in the document tree. Otherwise like :nth-child() tr:nth-last-child(-n+2) the last two rows of a table
:nth-of-type(an+b) pseudo-class notation represents an element that has an+b-1 siblings with the same expanded element name before it in the document tree, for any zero or positive integer value of n, and has a parent element img:nth-of-type(2n+1)
:nth-last-of-type(an+b) pseudo-class notation represents an element that has an+b-1 siblings with the same expanded element name after it in the document tree, for any zero or positive integer value of n, and has a parent element img:nth-last-of-type(2n+1)
:first-child elements that are the first child of some other element. div {@literal >} p:first-child
:last-child elements that are the last child of some other element. ol {@literal >} li:last-child
:first-of-type elements that are the first sibling of its type in the list of children of its parent element dl dt:first-of-type
:last-of-type elements that are the last sibling of its type in the list of children of its parent element tr {@literal >} td:last-of-type
:only-child elements that have a parent element and whose parent element hasve have no other element children
:only-of-type an element that has a parent element and whose parent element has no other element children with the same expanded element name
:empty elements that have no children at all
