HTMLLoader

 

The HTMLLoader parses HTML-encoded data.

The HTMLoader attempts to parse an HTML file as an XML file. It does not have any understanding of the structure of HTML or the document.

Loader	Characteristic
File Extension	.html, .htm
MIME Type	text/html
File Type	Text
File Format	eXtensible Markup Language
Data Format	Free format data structure
Decoder Type	Synchronous
Worker Thread Support	No
Streaming Support	No

The HTMLLoader is only expected to be fit-for-purpose for a few limited use cases. It is not intended for full fidelity parsing or display of HTML files. It is designed for minimal ad-hoc use cases such as

• the extraction of an error string from an HTML formatted error response from a server
• or possibly to extract some valuable information (perhaps the URL to a geospatial service) from a server that doesn't provide more structured return formats (such as JSON or XML).

Usage

import {HTMLLoader} from '@loaders.gl/xml';
import {load} from '@loaders.gl/core';

const data = await load(url, HTMLLoader, options);

Data Format

Unstructured, untyped data in the form a tree of JavaScrip objects representing the hierarchy of tags in the HTML file.

Options

For options, see the XMLLoader.
