How to use HTML Agility pack

Question

How do I use the HTML Agility Pack?

My XHTML document is not completely valid. That\'s why I wanted to use it. How do I use it in my project? My project is in C#.

Answer 1

HtmlAgilityPack uses XPath syntax, and though many argues that it is poorly documented, I had no trouble using it with help from this XPath documentation: https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xpath_syntax.asp

I did this:

string url = "http://website.com";
var Webget = new HtmlWeb();
var doc = Webget.Load(url);
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//h2//a"))
{
  names.Add(node.ChildNodes[0].InnerHtml);
}
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//li[@class='tel']//a"))
{
  phones.Add(node.ChildNodes[0].InnerHtml);
}
