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 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
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 that contain p elements
: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.
The above may be combined in any order and with other selectors .light:contains(name):eq(0)

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 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
