html_code = "<span>Hello</span> <span>World!</span>"

# Initialize a document from the prepared code
with HTMLDocument(html_code, ".") as document:
    # Get the reference to the first child (first <span>) of the body
    element = document.body.first_child
    print(element.text_content)  # output: Hello

    # Get the reference to the whitespace between html elements
    element = element.next_sibling
    print(element.text_content)  # output: ' '

Data Extraction

Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET is completely based on the W3C specification and supports XPath and CSS Selector queries. With it, you can quickly inspect the content of any HTML document and create your own data extraction solution.

from aspose.html import *

# Create an instance of HTML document with a web address
document = html.HTMLDocument("https://www.wikipedia.org/")

# Query all h2 elements
elements = document.query_selector_all("h2")

# Check if any h2 elements are found
if elements.length > 0:
    # Get the first h2 element
    first_heading = elements[0]
    # Get the text content of the h2 element
    content = first_heading.text_content.strip() if first_heading.text_content else ""
    # Print the text of the first h2 element
    print("Text of the first heading:")
    print(content)
else:
    print("No h2 elements found on the page")

Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET makes navigating and manipulating HTML documents simple and efficient, providing a versatile solution for developers who need to work with HTML content programmatically.
