tag-name-parser

A tag parser that does not support attributes. Lightweight and fast.

Install

npm i tag-name-parser

Usage

const parse = require('tag-name-parser')

parse(`hello <a>world<b>~</b><c/>!</a>`)

output:

[
    'hello ',
    {
        name: 'a',
        single: false,
        children: [
            'world',
            {
                name: 'b',
                single: false,
                children: [
                    '~'
                ]
            },
            {
                name: 'c',
                single: true
            },
            '!'
        ]
    }
]

Non-strict mode

If strict is false, the result is returned without error.

parse('<a>invalid<b>', {strict: false})

output:

[
    {
        name: 'a',
        single: false,
        children: [
            'invalid',
            {
                name: 'b',
                single: false,
                children: []
            }
        ]
    }
]

Change tag brackets.

parse('hello [a]world[/a]', {tag: ['[', ']']})

output:

{
    'hello ',
    {
        name: 'a',
        single: false,
        children: [
            'world'
        ]
    }
}

It is fast because it does not provide much. 😜
