What is SwiftSoup?

SwiftSoup is a pure Swift library, cross-platform (macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS and Linux!), for working with real-world HTML. It provides a very convenient API for extracting and manipulating data, using the best of DOM, CSS, and jQuery-like methods. SwiftSoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification, and parses HTML to the same DOM as modern browsers do.

Features:

  • Scrape and parse HTML from a URL, file, or string
  • Find and extract data, using DOM traversal or CSS selectors
  • Manipulate the HTML elements, attributes, and text
  • Clean user-submitted content against a safe white-list, to prevent XSS attacks
  • Output tidy HTML SwiftSoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild; from pristine and validating, to invalid tag-soup; SwiftSoup will create a sensible parse tree.
