HandsomeSoup is the library I wish I had when I started parsing HTML in Haskell.
It is built on top of HXT and adds a few functions that make it easier to work with HTML.
Most importantly, it adds CSS selectors to HXT. The goal of HandsomeSoup is to be a complete CSS2 selector parser for HXT.
cabal install HandsomeSoup
Nokogiri, the HTML parser for Ruby, has an example showing how to scrape Google search results. This is easy in HandsomeSoup:
main = do
let doc = fromUrl "http://www.google.com/search?q=egon+schiele"
links <- runX $ doc >>> css "h3.r a" ! "href"
mapM_ putStrLn links
let doc = fromUrl "http://example.com"
contents <- readFile [filename]
let doc = parseHtml contents
Here are some valid selectors:
doc <<< css "a"
doc <<< css "*"
doc <<< css "a#link1"
doc <<< css "a.foo"
doc <<< css "p > a"
doc <<< css "p strong"
doc <<< css "#container h1"
doc <<< css "img[width]"
doc <<< css "img[width=400]"
doc <<< css "a[class~=bar]"
doc <<< css "a:first-child"
doc <<< css "img" ! "src"
doc <<< css "a" ! "href"
