PostHTML AST Format

Any parser being used with PostHTML should return a standard PostHTML Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). Fortunately, this is a very easy format to produce and understand. The AST is an array that can contain strings and objects. Any strings represent plain text content to be written to the output. Any objects represent HTML tags.

Tag objects generally look something like this:

{

tag: 'div',

attrs: {

class: 'foo'

},

content: ['hello world!']

}

Tag objects can contain three keys. The tag key takes the name of the tag as the value. This can include custom tags. The optional attrs key takes an object with key/value pairs representing the attributes of the html tag. A boolean attribute has an empty string as its value. Finally, the optional content key takes an array as its value, which is a PostHTML AST. In this manner, the AST is a tree that should be walked recursively.

decodeEntities

Default: false

Description: If set to true, all tags will be lowercased. If xmlMode is disabled.

lowerCaseAttributeNames

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Description: If set to true, all attribute names will be lowercased. This has noticeable impact on speed.

recognizeCDATA

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Description: If set to true, CDATA sections will be recognized as text even if the xmlMode option is not enabled. NOTE: If xmlMode is set to true then CDATA sections will always be recognized as text.

recognizeSelfClosing

Type: Boolean

Default: false

Description: If set to true, self-closing tags will trigger the onclosetag event even if xmlMode is not set to true. NOTE: If xmlMode is set to true then self-closing tags will always be recognized.
