/**
* CSS-like element selector, that finds elements matching a query.
*
* Selector syntax
*
* A selector is a chain of simple selectors, separated by combinators. Selectors are case insensitive (including against
* elements, attributes, and attribute values).
*
*
* The universal selector {@code *} is implicit when no element selector is supplied (i.e. {@code .header} and {@code *.header}
* are equivalent).
*
*
*
* Pattern Matches Example
* *
any element *
* tag
elements with the given tag name div
* *|E
elements of type E in any namespace (including non-namespaced) *|name
finds <fb:name>
and <name>
elements
* ns|E
elements of type E in the namespace ns fb|name
finds <fb:name>
elements
* #id
elements with attribute ID of "id" div#wrap
, #logo
* .class
elements with a class name of "class" div.left
, .result
* [attr]
elements with an attribute named "attr" (with any value) a[href]
, [title]
* [^attrPrefix]
elements with an attribute name starting with "attrPrefix". Use to find elements with HTML5 datasets [^data-]
, div[^data-]
* [attr=val]
elements with an attribute named "attr", and value equal to "val" img[width=500]
, a[rel=nofollow]
* [attr="val"]
elements with an attribute named "attr", and value equal to "val" span[hello="Cleveland"][goodbye="Columbus"]
, a[rel="nofollow"]
* [attr^=valPrefix]
elements with an attribute named "attr", and value starting with "valPrefix" a[href^=http:]
* [attr$=valSuffix]
elements with an attribute named "attr", and value ending with "valSuffix" img[src$=.png]
* [attr*=valContaining]
elements with an attribute named "attr", and value containing "valContaining" a[href*=/search/]
* [attr~=regex]
elements with an attribute named "attr", and value matching the regular expression img[src~=(?i)\\.(png|jpe?g)]
* [*]
elements with any attribute p[*]
finds p
elements that have at least one attribute; p:not([*])
finds those with no attributes
* The above may be combined in any order div.header[title]
* Combinators
* E F
an F element descended from an E element div a
, .logo h1
* E {@literal >} F
an F direct child of E ol {@literal >} li
* E + F
an F element immediately preceded by sibling E li + li
, div.head + div
* E ~ F
an F element preceded by sibling E h1 ~ p
* E, F, G
all matching elements E, F, or G a[href], div, h3
* Pseudo selectors
* :lt(n)
elements whose sibling index is less than n td:lt(3)
finds the first 3 cells of each row
* :gt(n)
elements whose sibling index is greater than n td:gt(1)
finds cells after skipping the first two
* :eq(n)
elements whose sibling index is equal to n td:eq(0)
finds the first cell of each row
* :has(selector)
elements that contains at least one element matching the selector div:has(p)
finds div
s that contain p
elements.
div:has(> a)
selects div
elements that have at least one direct child a
element.
section:has(h1, h2)
finds section
elements that contain a h1
or a h2
element
* :is(selector list)
elements that match any of the selectors in the selector list :is(h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6)
finds any heading element.
:is(section, article) > :is(h1, h2)
finds a h1
or h2
that is a direct child of a section
or an article
* :not(selector)
elements that do not match the selector. See also {@link Elements#not(String)} div:not(.logo)
finds all divs that do not have the "logo" class.div:not(:has(div))
finds divs that do not contain divs.
* :contains(text)
elements that contains the specified text. The search is case insensitive. The text may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. The text is whitespace normalized. To find content that includes parentheses, escape those with a {@code \}.
p:contains(jsoup)
finds p elements containing the text "jsoup".{@code p:contains(hello \(there\) finds p elements containing the text "Hello (There)"}
* :containsOwn(text)
elements that directly contain the specified text. The search is case insensitive. The text must appear in the found element, not any of its descendants. p:containsOwn(jsoup)
finds p elements with own text "jsoup".
* :containsData(data)
elements that contains the specified data. The contents of {@code script} and {@code style} elements, and {@code comment} nodes (etc) are considered data nodes, not text nodes. The search is case insensitive. The data may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. script:contains(jsoup)
finds script elements containing the data "jsoup".
* :containsWholeText(text)
elements that contains the specified non-normalized text. The search is case sensitive, and will match exactly against spaces and newlines found in the original input. The text may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. To find content that includes parentheses, escape those with a {@code \}.
p:containsWholeText(jsoup\nThe Java HTML Parser)
finds p elements containing the text "jsoup\nThe Java HTML Parser"
(and not other variations of whitespace or casing, as :contains()
would. Note that {@code br} elements are presented as a newline.
* :containsWholeOwnText(text)
elements that directly contain the specified non-normalized text. The search is case sensitive, and will match exactly against spaces and newlines found in the original input. The text may appear in the found element, but not in its descendants. To find content that includes parentheses, escape those with a {@code \}.
p:containsWholeOwnText(jsoup\nThe Java HTML Parser)
finds p elements directly containing the text "jsoup\nThe Java HTML Parser"
(and not other variations of whitespace or casing, as :contains()
would. Note that {@code br} elements are presented as a newline.
* :matches(regex)
elements containing whitespace normalized text that matches the specified regular expression. The text may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. td:matches(\\d+)
finds table cells containing digits. div:matches((?i)login)
finds divs containing the text, case insensitively.
* :matchesWholeText(regex)
elements containing non-normalized whole text that matches the specified regular expression. The text may appear in the found element, or any of its descendants. td:matchesWholeText(\\s{2,})
finds table cells a run of at least two space characters.
* :matchesWholeOwnText(regex)
elements whose own non-normalized whole text matches the specified regular expression. The text must appear in the found element, not any of its descendants. td:matchesWholeOwnText(\n\\d+)
finds table cells directly containing digits following a neewline.
* The above may be combined in any order and with other selectors .light:contains(name):eq(0)
* :matchText
treats text nodes as elements, and so allows you to match against and select text nodes.Note that using this selector will modify the DOM, so you may want to {@code clone} your document before using.
{@code p:matchText:firstChild} with input {@code One
Two
} will return one {@link org.jsoup.nodes.PseudoTextElement} with text "{@code One}".
* Structural pseudo selectors
* :root
The element that is the root of the document. In HTML, this is the html
element :root
* :nth-child(an+b)
elements that have an+b-1
siblings before it in the document tree, for any positive integer or zero value of n
, and has a parent element. For values of a
and b
greater than zero, this effectively divides the element's children into groups of a elements (the last group taking the remainder), and selecting the bth element of each group. For example, this allows the selectors to address every other row in a table, and could be used to alternate the color of paragraph text in a cycle of four. The a
and b
values must be integers (positive, negative, or zero). The index of the first child of an element is 1.
* Additionally, :nth-child()
supports odd
and even
as arguments. odd
is the same as 2n+1
, and even
is the same as 2n
.tr:nth-child(2n+1)
finds every odd row of a table. :nth-child(10n-1)
the 9th, 19th, 29th, etc, element. li:nth-child(5)
the 5h li
* :nth-last-child(an+b)
elements that have an+b-1
siblings after it in the document tree. Otherwise like :nth-child()
tr:nth-last-child(-n+2)
the last two rows of a table
* :nth-of-type(an+b)
pseudo-class notation represents an element that has an+b-1
siblings with the same expanded element name before it in the document tree, for any zero or positive integer value of n, and has a parent element img:nth-of-type(2n+1)
* :nth-last-of-type(an+b)
pseudo-class notation represents an element that has an+b-1
siblings with the same expanded element name after it in the document tree, for any zero or positive integer value of n, and has a parent element img:nth-last-of-type(2n+1)
* :first-child
elements that are the first child of some other element. div {@literal >} p:first-child
* :last-child
elements that are the last child of some other element. ol {@literal >} li:last-child
* :first-of-type
elements that are the first sibling of its type in the list of children of its parent element dl dt:first-of-type
* :last-of-type
elements that are the last sibling of its type in the list of children of its parent element tr {@literal >} td:last-of-type
* :only-child
elements that have a parent element and whose parent element have no other element children
* :only-of-type
an element that has a parent element and whose parent element has no other element children with the same expanded element name
* :empty
elements that have no children at all
*
*
* A word on using regular expressions in these selectors: depending on the content of the regex, you will need to quote the pattern using Pattern.quote("regex")
for it to parse correctly through both the selector parser and the regex parser. E.g. String query = "div:matches(" + Pattern.quote(regex) + ");"
.
* Escaping special characters: to match a tag, ID, or other selector that does not follow the regular CSS syntax, the query must be escaped with the \
character. For example, to match by ID {@code
}, use {@code document.select("#i\\.d")}.
