Is there any way to parse XML comments in Groovy?
Both XMLParser and XMLSluprer don't seem to support comments nodes.
Suppose following file (example.html):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>title</title>
<body>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1">
<thead>
<tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="3">title</td></tr>
</thead><tbody>
<!--I cannot be seen-->
<tr>
<td>x</td>
<td>x</td>
<td>x</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</body>
</html>
Here is my code:
def parser = new XmlSlurper(false, false)
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl", false)
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/nonvalidating/load-external-dtd", false)
def response = parser.parse('example.html')
And when I use
println XmlUtil.serialize(response)
to output the file, no comment can be seen.
as soon as you have html - it's possible to use jsoup to parse
