Currently for x86_64
architecture.
If you need any other architecture, please, write to [email protected].
For vcpkg users there is a lexbor
port that can be installed via vcpkg install lexbor
or by adding it to dependencies
section of your vcpkg.json
file.
To install lexbor
on macOS from Homebrew:
brew install lexbor
To install lexbor
on macOS from MacPorts:
sudo port install lexbor
For building and installing Lexbor library from source code, use CMake (open-source, cross-platform build system).
cmake . -DLEXBOR_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DLEXBOR_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON
make
make test
Please, see more information in documentation.
- liblexbor — this is a single library that includes all modules.
- liblexbor-{module name} — libraries for each module.
You only need an HTML parser? Use liblexbor-html
.
Separate modules may depend on each other.
For example, dependencies for liblexbor-html
: liblexbor-core
, liblexbor-dom
, liblexbor-tag
, liblexbor-ns
.
The liblexbor-html
library already contains all the pointers to the required dependencies. Just include it in the assembly: gcc program.c -llexbor-html
.
- Elixir binding for the HTML module (since 2.0 version)
- Crystal Fast HTML5 Parser with CSS selectors for Crystal language
- Python binding for modest and lexbor engines.
- D Fast HTML5 Parser with CSS selectors for D programming language
- Ruby Fast HTML5 Parser with both CSS selectors and XPath support.
You can create a binding or wrapper for the lexbor
and place the link here!
