Overview
====
`htmlquery` is an XPath query package for HTML, lets you extract data or evaluate from HTML documents by an XPath expression.
`htmlquery` built-in the query object caching feature based on [LRU](https://godoc.org/github.com/golang/groupcache/lru), this feature will caching the recently used XPATH query string. Enable query caching can avoid re-compile XPath expression each query.
Installation
====
```
go get github.com/antchfx/htmlquery
```
Getting Started
====
#### Query, returns matched elements or error.
```go
nodes, err := htmlquery.QueryAll(doc, "//a")
if err != nil {
panic(`not a valid XPath expression.`)
}
```
#### Load HTML document from URL.
```go
doc, err := htmlquery.LoadURL("http://example.com/")
```
#### Load HTML from document.
```go
filePath := "/home/user/sample.html"
doc, err := htmlquery.LoadDoc(filePath)
```
#### Load HTML document from string.
```go
s := `<html>....</html>`
doc, err := htmlquery.Parse(strings.NewReader(s))
```
#### Find all A elements.
```go
list := htmlquery.Find(doc, "//a")
```
#### Find all A elements that have `href` attribute.
```go
list := range htmlquery.Find(doc, "//a[@href]")
```
#### Find all A elements with `href` attribute and only return `href` value.
```go
list := range htmlquery.Find(doc, "//a/@href")
for n := range list{
fmt.Println(htmlquery.InnerText(n)) // output @href value without A element.
}
```
### Find the third A element.
```go
a := htmlquery.FindOne(doc, "//a[3]")
```
#### Evaluate the number of all IMG element.
```go
expr, _ := xpath.Compile("count(//img)")
v := expr.Evaluate(htmlquery.CreateXPathNavigator(doc)).(float64)
fmt.Printf("total count is %f", v)
```
FAQ
====
#### `Find()` vs `QueryAll()`, which is better?
`Find` and `QueryAll` both do the same things, searches all of matched html nodes.
The `Find` will panics if you give an error XPath query, but `QueryAll` will return an error for you.
#### Can I save my query expression object for the next query?
Yes, you can. We offer the `QuerySelector` and `QuerySelectorAll` methods, It will accept your query expression object.
Cache a query expression object(or reused) will avoid re-compile XPath query expression, improve your query performance.
#### XPath query object cache performance
```
goos: windows
goarch: amd64
pkg: github.com/antchfx/htmlquery
BenchmarkSelectorCache-4 20000000 55.2 ns/op
BenchmarkDisableSelectorCache-4 500000 3162 ns/op
```
#### How to disable caching?
```
htmlquery.DisableSelectorCache = true
```

```go
func main() {
doc, err := htmlquery.LoadURL("https://www.bing.com/search?q=golang")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Find all news item.

if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
for i, n := range list {
a := htmlquery.FindOne(n, "//a")
