Floki is an Elixir HTML parser that lets you search document nodes using CSS selectors. It supports multiple parsing backends (mochiweb_html, html5ever, fast_html) and can serialize nodes back to raw HTML.

Use cases

  • parse html documents in elixir
  • find elements with css selectors
  • scrape data from web pages
  • extract links and attributes from html
  • convert html fragments back to raw html
  • query html in phoenix tests

When to choose

  • you're working in Elixir or Erlang and need HTML parsing
  • you want CSS selector-based querying of HTML trees
  • you need a pure-BEAM parser with optional fast native backends

When to avoid

  • you need a full browser or JavaScript execution for scraping
  • you're parsing non-HTML markup like XML or JSON
  • you need streaming parsing of very large documents
