# DOMBuilder

version 3.0.2

A builder for parsing HTML, XHTML and XML into a W3C DOM tree.

For example this XML `String`:

    String recordsXML = '''
        <records>
          <car name='HSV Maloo' make='Holden' year='2006'>
            <country>Australia</country>
            <record type='speed'>Production Pickup Truck with speed of 271kph</record>
          </car>
          <car name='P50' make='Peel' year='1962'>
            <country>Isle of Man</country>
            <record type='size'>Smallest Street-Legal Car at 99cm wide and 59 kg in weight</record>
          </car>
          <car name='Royale' make='Bugatti' year='1931'>
            <country>France</country>
            <record type='price'>Most Valuable Car at $15 million</record>
          </car>
        </records>'''

Can be parsed into a DOM tree with a `DOMBuilder` like this:

    def reader = new StringReader(recordsXML)
    def doc = groovy.xml.DOMBuilder.parse(reader)

And then processed further e.g. by using DOMCategory:

    def records = doc.documentElement
    use(groovy.xml.dom.DOMCategory) {
        assert records.car.size() == 3
    }
