HTML table data extractor for Go

htmltable enables structured data extraction from HTML tables, requiring almost no external dependencies except x/net/html

Installation

go get github.com/cel-edward/go-htmltable

Usage

Pass an html string into New() or NewFromString(). []*Table is returned, where Table.Data is of form [][]string.

rowspans and colspans are 'demerged', with the contained value copied into each spanned cell.

Cells with attribute style="[...]display:none[...]" are ignored.

Example html and results can be found in parse_test.go

Notes

Strings values within returned tables are stripped of surrounding whitespace.

Whitespace is inserted between multiple divs contained in a <td>. For example, if a <td> cell has two elements <div> text 1</div> <div>text2</div> inside, the resulting text produced is text 1 text 2.

This is a heavily modified fork of github.com/nfx/go-htmltable, designed for use with CEL algorithms.

The main parsing algorithm has been completely rewritten as did not reliably function for our use cases, particularly with complex row/colspans. Returned types are also adjusted.
