在 C# 中解析 html 的最佳方法是什么？

What is the best way to parse html in C#?

提问by Luke

I'm looking for a library/method to parse an html file with more html specific features than generic xml parsing libraries.

我正在寻找一种库/方法来解析具有比通用 xml 解析库更多的 html 特定功能的 html 文件。

回答by Corin Blaikie

You could use a HTML DTD, and the generic XML parsing libraries.

您可以使用 HTML DTD 和通用 XML 解析库。

The trouble with parsing HTML is that it isn't an exact science. If it was XHTML that you were parsing, then things would be a lot easier (as you mention you could use a general XML parser). Because HTML isn't necessarily well-formed XML you will come into lots of problems trying to parse it. It almost needs to be done on a site-by-site basis.

解析 HTML 的麻烦在于它不是一门精确的科学。如果您解析的是 XHTML，那么事情会容易得多（正如您提到的，您可以使用通用 XML 解析器）。因为 HTML 不一定是格式良好的 XML，所以您在解析它时会遇到很多问题。它几乎需要在逐个站点的基础上完成。

回答by Erlend

You could use TidyNet.Tidy to convert the HTML to XHTML, and then use an XML parser.

您可以使用 TidyNet.Tidy 将 HTML 转换为 XHTML，然后使用 XML 解析器。

Another alternative would be to use the builtin engine mshtml:

另一种选择是使用内置引擎 mshtml：

using mshtml;
...
object[] oPageText = { html };
HTMLDocument doc = new HTMLDocumentClass();
IHTMLDocument2 doc2 = (IHTMLDocument2)doc;
doc2.write(oPageText);

This allows you to use javascript-like functions like getElementById()

这允许您使用类似 javascript 的函数，例如 getElementById()

I think @Erlend's use of HTMLDocumentis the bestway to go. However, I have also had good luck using this simple library:

我认为@Erlend 的使用HTMLDocument是最好的方法。但是，使用这个简单的库我也很幸运：

SgmlReader

语法阅读器

You can do a lot without going nuts on 3rd-party products and mshtml (i.e. interop). use the System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser. From there, you can do such things as "GetElementById" on an HtmlDocument or "GetElementsByTagName" on HtmlElements. If you want to actually inteface with the browser (simulate button clicks for example), you can use a little reflection (imo a lesser evil than Interop) to do it:

您可以做很多事情，而无需对 3rd-party 产品和 mshtml（即互操作）发疯。使用 System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser。从那里，您可以在 HtmlDocument 上执行“GetElementById”或在 HtmlElements 上执行“GetElementsByTagName”等操作。如果您想与浏览器实际交互（例如模拟按钮点击），您可以使用一点反射（imo 比 Interop 更邪恶）来做到这一点：

var wb = new WebBrowser()

... tell the browser to navigate (tangential to this question). Then on the Document_Completed event you can simulate clicks like this.

...告诉浏览器导航（与此问题无关）。然后在 Document_Completed 事件上，您可以模拟这样的点击。

var doc = wb.Browser.Document
var elem = doc.GetElementById(elementId);
object obj = elem.DomElement;
System.Reflection.MethodInfo mi = obj.GetType().GetMethod("click");
mi.Invoke(obj, new object[0]);

you can do similar reflection stuff to submit forms, etc.

你可以做类似的反思来提交表格等。

Enjoy.

享受。

I've used ZetaHtmlTidyin the past to load random websites and then hit against various parts of the content with xpath (eg /html/body//p[@class='textblock']). It worked well but there were some exceptional sites that it had problems with, so I don't know if it's the absolute best solution.

我过去曾使用ZetaHtmlTidy加载随机网站，然后使用 xpath 攻击内容的各个部分（例如 /html/body//p[@class='textblock']）。它运行良好，但有一些特殊站点存在问题，所以我不知道这是否是绝对的最佳解决方案。

Html Agility Pack

Html 敏捷包

This is an agile HTML parser that builds a read/write DOM and supports plain XPATH or XSLT (you actually don't HAVE to understand XPATH nor XSLT to use it, don't worry...). It is a .NET code library that allows you to parse "out of the web" HTML files. The parser is very tolerant with "real world" malformed HTML. The object model is very similar to what proposes System.Xml, but for HTML documents (or streams).

这是一个敏捷的 HTML 解析器，它构建了一个读/写 DOM 并支持普通的 XPATH 或 XSLT（你实际上不必了解 XPATH 或 XSLT 来使用它，别担心......）。它是一个 .NET 代码库，允许您解析“网络之外”的 HTML 文件。解析器对“现实世界”格式错误的 HTML 非常宽容。对象模型与 System.Xml 建议的非常相似，但用于 HTML 文档（或流）。

The Html Agility Pack has been mentioned before - if you are going for speed, you might also want to check out the Majestic-12 HTML parser. Its handling is rather clunky, but it delivers a really fast parsing experience.

之前已经提到过 Html Agility Pack - 如果您追求速度，您可能还想查看Majestic-12 HTML 解析器。它的处理相当笨重，但它提供了非常快速的解析体验。

I've written some code that provides "LINQ to HTML" functionality. I thought I would share it here. It is based on Majestic 12. It takes the Majestic-12 results and produces LINQ XML elements. At that point you can use all your LINQ to XML tools against the HTML. As an example:

我编写了一些提供“LINQ to HTML”功能的代码。我想我会在这里分享。它基于 Majestic 12。它采用 Majestic-12 结果并生成 LINQ XML 元素。此时，您可以针对 HTML 使用所有 LINQ to XML 工具。举个例子：

        IEnumerable<XNode> auctionNodes = Majestic12ToXml.Majestic12ToXml.ConvertNodesToXml(byteArrayOfAuctionHtml);

        foreach (XElement anchorTag in auctionNodes.OfType<XElement>().DescendantsAndSelf("a")) {

            if (anchorTag.Attribute("href") == null)
                continue;

            Console.WriteLine(anchorTag.Attribute("href").Value);
        }

I wanted to use Majestic-12 because I know it has a lot of built-in knowledge with regards to HTML that is found in the wild. What I've found though is that to map the Majestic-12 results to something that LINQ will accept as XML requires additional work. The code I'm including does a lot of this cleansing, but as you use this you will find pages that are rejected. You'll need to fix up the code to address that. When an exception is thrown, check exception.Data["source"] as it is likely set to the HTML tag that caused the exception. Handling the HTML in a nice manner is at times not trivial...

我想使用 Majestic-12，因为我知道它有很多关于在野外发现的 HTML 的内置知识。不过，我发现将 Majestic-12 结果映射到 LINQ 将接受的内容，因为 XML 需要额外的工作。我包含的代码做了很多清理工作，但是当您使用它时，您会发现被拒绝的页面。您需要修复代码以解决该问题。当抛出异常时，检查 exception.Data["source"] 因为它可能设置为导致异常的 HTML 标记。以一种很好的方式处理 HTML 有时并不简单......

So now that expectations are realistically low, here's the code :)
