QueryPath (QP) library implements effects similar to jQuery in PHP. It can also be used to easily process XML HTML... It’s so powerful! ! !
A QueryPath Tutorial(A simple explanation)
QueryPath makes use of method chaining to provide a concise suite of tools for manipulating a DOM.
The basic principle of method chaining is that each method returns an object upon which additional methods can be called . In our case, the QueryPath object usually returns itself.
Let's take a look at an example to illustrate:
$qp = qp(QueryPath::HTML_STUB); // Generate a new QueryPath object.(Create a QP object)
$qp2 = $qp->find('body'); // Find the body tag.(Find the "body" tag)
// Now the surprising part: (Please see what surprises you below)
if ( $qp === $qp2) {
// This will always get printed.(It will always be output like this)
print "MATCH";
}
Why does $qp always equal $qp2? Because the find() function does all of its data gathering and then returns the QueryPath object.
This might seem esoteric, but it all has a very practical rationale. With this sort of interface, we can chain lots of methods together:
(You can do the same with jQuery
qp(QueryPath::HTML_STUB)->find('body')->text('Hello World')->writeHTML();
In this example, we have four method calls:
qp(QueryPath::HTML_STUB): Create a new QueryPath object and provide it with a stub of an HTML document. This returns the QueryPath object.
find('body'): This searches the QueryPath document looking for an element named 'body '. That element is, of course, the
text('Hello World'): This function takes the current element(s) wrapped by QueryPath and adds the text Hello World. As you have probably guessed, it, too, returns a QueryPath object. The object will still be pointing to the body element.
writeHTML(): The writeHTML() function prints out the entire document. This is used to send the HTML back to the client. You'll never guess what this function returns. Okay , you guessed it. QueryPath.
So at the end of the chain above, we would have created a document that looks something like this:
