There should be a HTML > Processing Bundle that provides mechanisms for manipulating and interacting > with HTML data once it has entered the flow. Jsoup http://jsoup.org/ seems > like a logical tool to use since it is mature and has a MIT license which > would allow it to be incorporated into NiFi. > “GetHTMLElement” should use the CSS selector-syntax > (http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp) built into Jsoup to > extract 0-N HTML elements from the original HTML input. This processor should > support a delimited string of selectors allowing the user to build compound > HTML element output. Each HTML element (or compound element result) extracted > will create a new Flowfile where the element will be in either the Flowfile > content or an attribute depending on the user configuration. > “ModifyHTMLElement” should provide the ability to modify the original input > HTML and overwrite any existing element values. The HTML element that will be > modified can be selected by using the CSS selector-syntax > “PutHTMLElement” should provide the ability to put a new HTML element > anywhere in the original input HTML using CSS selector-syntax to indicate the > position that the new HTML element should be placed. > There seems to be a potential for adding more processors but this seems like > a good start. Since there is a dependency on Jsoup and a potential for more > processors to come I think it makes sense to add this logic as its own nar > bundle but I could be wrong. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
