select.rs 
A library to extract useful data from HTML documents, suitable for web scraping.
Note: All the API is currently unstable and will change as I use this library
more in real world projects. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please
open an issue or send me an email.
Examples
from examples/stackoverflow.rs
extern crate select;
use select::document::Document;
use select::predicate::{Predicate, Attr, Class, Name};
pub fn main() {
// stackoverflow.html was fetched from
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/rust?sort=votes&pageSize=50 on
// Aug 10, 2015.
let document = Document::from(include_str!("stackoverflow.html"));
println!("# Menu");
for node in document.find(Attr("id", "hmenus").descendant(Name("a"))) {
println!("{} ({:?})", node.text(), node.attr("href").unwrap());
}
println!("");
println!("# Top 5 Questions");
for node in document.find(Class("question-summary")).take(5) {
let question = node.find(Class("question-hyperlink")).next().unwrap();
let votes = node.find(Class("vote-count-post")).next().unwrap().text();
let answers = node.find(Class("status").descendant(Name("strong")))
.next()
.unwrap()
.text();
let tags = node.find(Class("post-tag")).map(, tag, tag.text()).collect::<Vec<_>>();
let asked_on = node.find(Class("relativetime")).next().unwrap().text();
let asker = node.find(Class("user-details").descendant(Name("a")))
.next()
.unwrap()
.text();
println!(" Question: {}", question.text());
println!(" Answers: {}", answers);
println!(" Votes: {}", votes);
println!(" Tagged: {}", tags.join(", "));
println!(" Asked on: {}", asked_on);
println!(" Asker: {}", asker);
println!("Permalink: http://stackoverflow.com{}",
question.attr("href").unwrap());
println!("");
}
println!("# Top 10 Related Tags");
for node in document.find(Attr("id", "h-related-tags"))
.next()
.unwrap()
.parent()
.unwrap()
.find(Name("div"))
.take(10) {
let tag = node.find(Name("a")).next().unwrap().text();
let count = node.find(Class("item-multiplier-count")).next().unwrap().text();
println!("{} ({})", tag, count);
}
}
