=head1 NAME
IO::HTML - Open an HTML file with automatic charset detection
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 1.004 of
IO::HTML, released September 26, 2020.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use IO::HTML; # exports html_file by default
use HTML::TreeBuilder;
my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder->new_from_file(
html_file('foo.html')
);
# Alternative interface:
open(my $in, '<:raw', 'bar.html');
my $encoding = IO::HTML::sniff_encoding($in, 'bar.html');
=head1 DESCRIPTION
IO::HTML provides an easy way to open a file containing HTML while
automatically determining its encoding. It uses the HTML5 encoding
sniffing algorithm specified in section 8.2.2.2 of the draft standard.
The algorithm as implemented here is:
=over
=item 1.
If the file begins with a byte order mark indicating UTF-16LE,
UTF-16BE, or UTF-8, then that is the encoding.
=item 2.
If the first C<$bytes_to_check> bytes of the file contain a C<< <meta> >> tag that
indicates the charset, and Encode recognizes the specified charset
name, then that is the encoding. (This portion of the algorithm is
implemented by C<find_charset_in>.)
The C<< <meta> >> tag can be in one of two formats:
<meta charset="...">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="...charset=...">
The search is case-insensitive, and the order of attributes within the
tag is irrelevant. Any additional attributes of the tag are ignored.
The first matching tag with a recognized encoding ends the search.
=item 3.
If the first C<$bytes_to_check> bytes of the file are valid UTF-8 (with at least 1
non-ASCII character), then the encoding is UTF-8.
=item 4.
If all else fails, use the default character encoding. The HTML5
standard suggests the default encoding should be locale dependent, but
currently it is always C<cp1252> unless you set
C<$IO::HTML::default_encoding> to a different value. Note:
C<sniff_encoding> does not apply this step; only C<html_file> does
that.
=back
=head1 SUBROUTINES
=head2 html_file
$filehandle = html_file($filename, \%options);
This function (exported by default) is the primary entry point. It
opens the file specified by C<$filename> for reading, uses
C<sniff_encoding> to find a suitable encoding layer, and applies it.
It also applies the C<:crlf> layer. If the file begins with a BOM,
the filehandle is positioned just after the BOM.
The optional second argument is a hashref containing options. The
possible keys are described under C<find_charset_in>.
If C<sniff_encoding> is unable to determine the encoding, it defaults
to C<$IO::HTML::default_encoding>, which is set to C<cp1252>
(a.k.a. Windows-1252) by default. According to the standard, the
default should be locale dependent, but that is not currently
implemented.
It dies if the file cannot be opened, or if C<sniff_encoding> cannot
determine the encoding and C<$IO::HTML::default_encoding> has been set
to C<undef>.
=head2 html_file_and_encoding
($filehandle, $encoding, $bom)
= html_file_and_encoding($filename, \%options);
This function (exported only by request) is just like C<html_file>,
but returns more information. In addition to the filehandle, it
returns the name of the encoding used, and a flag indicating whether a
byte order mark was found (if C<$bom> is true, the file began with a
BOM). This may be useful if you want to write the file out again
(especially in conjunction with the C<html_outfile> function).
The optional second argument is a hashref containing options. The
possible keys are described under C<find_charset_in>.
It dies if the file cannot be opened, or if C<sniff_encoding> cannot
determine the encoding and C<$IO::HTML::default_encoding> has been set
to C<undef>.
The result of calling C<html_file_and_encoding> in scalar context is undefined
(in the C sense of there is no guarantee what you'll get).
=head2 html_outfile
$filehandle = html_outfile($filename, $encoding, $bom);
This function (exported only by request) opens C<$filename> for output
using C<$encoding>, and writes a BOM to it if C<$bom> is true.
If C<$encoding> is C<undef>, it defaults to C<$IO::HTML::default_encoding>.
C<$encoding> may be either an encoding name or an Encode::Encoding object.
It dies if the file cannot be opened, or if both C<$encoding> and
C<$IO::HTML::default_encoding> are C<undef>.
=head2 sniff_encoding
($encoding, $bom) = sniff_encoding($filehandle, $filename, \%options);
This function (exported only by request) runs the HTML5 encoding
sniffing algorithm on C<$filehandle> (which must be seekable, and
should have been opened in C<:raw> mode). C<$filename> is used only
for error messages (if there's a problem using the filehandle), and
defaults to "file" if omitted. The optional third argument is a
hashref containing options. The possible keys are described under
C<find_charset_in>.
It returns Perl's canonical name for the encoding, which is not
necessarily the same as the MIME or IANA charset name. It returns
C<undef> if the encoding cannot be determined. C<$bom> is true if the
file began with a byte order mark. In scalar context, it returns only
C<$encoding>.
The filehandle's position is restored to its original position
(normally the beginning of the file) unless C<$bom> is true. In that
case, the position is immediately after the BOM.
Tip: If you want to run C<sniff_encoding> on a file you've already
loaded into a string, open an in-memory file on the string, and pass
that handle:
($encoding, $bom) = do {
open(my $fh, '<', \$string); sniff_encoding($fh)
};
(This only makes sense if C<$string> contains bytes, not characters.)
=head2 find_charset_in
$encoding = find_charset_in($string_containing_HTML, \%options);
This function (exported only by request) looks for charset information
in a C<< <meta> >> tag in a possibly-incomplete HTML document using
the "two step" algorithm specified by HTML5. It does not look for a BOM.
The C<< <meta> >> tag must begin within the first C<$IO::HTML::bytes_to_check>
bytes of the string.
It returns Perl's canonical name for the encoding, which is not
necessarily the same as the MIME or IANA charset name. It returns
C<undef> if no charset is specified or if the specified charset is not
recognized by the Encode module.
The optional second argument is a hashref containing options. The
following keys are recognized:
=over
=item C<encoding>
If true, return the L<Encode::Encoding> object instead of its name.
Defaults to false.
=item C<need_pragma>
If true (the default), follow the HTML5 spec and examine the
C<content> attribute only of C<< <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" >>.
If set to 0, relax the HTML5 spec, and look for "charset=" in the
C<content> attribute of I<every> meta tag.
=back
=head1 EXPORTS
By default, only C<html_file> is exported. Other functions may be
exported on request.
For people who prefer not to export functions, all functions beginning
with C<html_> have an alias without that prefix (e.g. you can call
C<IO::HTML::file(...)> instead of C<IO::HTML::html_file(...)>. These
aliases are not exportable.
=for Pod::Coverage
file
file_and_encoding
outfile
The following export tags are available:
=over
=item C<:all>
All exportable functions.
=item C<:rw>
C<html_file>, C<html_file_and_encoding>, C<html_outfile>.
=back
=head1 SEE ALSO
The HTML5 specification, section 8.2.2.2 Determining the character encoding:
L<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/syntax.html#determining-the-character-encoding>
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=over
=item C<< Could not read %s: %s >>
The specified file could not be read from for the reason specified by C<$!>.
=item C<< Could not seek %s: %s >>
The specified file could not be rewound for the reason specified by C<$!>.
=item C<< Failed to open %s: %s >>
The specified file could not be opened for reading for the reason
specified by C<$!>.
=item C<< No default encoding specified >>
The C<sniff_encoding> algorithm didn't find an encoding to use, and
you set C<$IO::HTML::default_encoding> to C<undef>.
=back
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
There are two global variables that affect IO::HTML. If you need to
change them, you should do so using C<local> if possible:
my $file = do {
# This file may define the charset later in the header
local $IO::HTML::bytes_to_check = 4096;
html_file(...);
};
=over
=item C<$bytes_to_check>
This is the number of bytes that C<sniff_encoding> will read from the
stream. It is also the number of bytes that C<find_charset_in> will
search for a C<< <meta> >> tag containing charset information.
It must be a positive integer.
The HTML 5 specification recommends using the default value of 1024,
but some pages do not follow the specification.
=item C<$default_encoding>
This is the encoding that C<html_file> and C<html_file_and_encoding>
will use if no encoding can be detected by C<sniff_encoding>.
The default value is C<cp1252> (a.k.a. Windows-1252).
Setting it to C<undef> will cause the file subroutines to croak if
C<sniff_encoding> fails to determine the encoding. (C<sniff_encoding>
itself does not use C<$default_encoding>).
=back
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
IO::HTML has no non-core dependencies for Perl 5.8.7+. With earlier
versions of Perl 5.8, you need to upgrade L<Encode> to at least
version 2.10, and
you may need to upgrade L<Exporter> to at least version
5.57.
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
None reported.
=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
No bugs have been reported.
