a Swift HTML Parser library for working with real-world HTML through a convenient API for extracting and manipulating data using DOM, CSS, and jquery-like methods.

SwiftSoup is a pure Swift HTML Parser library for working with real-world HTML. It provides a convenient API for extracting and manipulating data, using the best of DOM, CSS, and jquery-like methods. SwiftSoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification, parsing HTML to the same DOM as modern browsers do.

Main features:

  • Scrape and parse HTML from a URL, file, or string
  • Find and extract data, using DOM traversal or CSS selectors
  • Manipulate HTML elements, attributes, and text
  • Sanitizing: Clean user-submitted content against a white-list, to prevent XSS attacks
  • Deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild; from validating to invalid tag-soup
  • Output tidy HTML

SwiftSoup is available through CocoaPods, Carthage, and on GitHub.
