## 🎨 Core Features
### 1. **Powerful DOM Representation**
```python
from perfectpizza import parse
doc = parse('<div class="box" id="main"><p>Hello world!</p></div>')
# Navigate the tree
div = doc.find_one('div')
print(div.tag) # 'div'
print(div.get_attr('class')) # 'box'
print(div.has_class('box')) # True
print(div.text()) # 'Hello world!'
# Tree traversal
for child in div.children:
print(child)
for ancestor in div.ancestors():
print(ancestor.tag)
```
### 2. **Complete CSS Selector Support**
```python
from perfectpizza import select, select_one
# Basic selectors
select(doc, 'div') # All div elements
select(doc, '.class') # All elements with class
select(doc, '#id') # Element with ID
select(doc, '[attr]') # Elements with attribute
select(doc, '[attr="value"]') # Attribute equals value
# Advanced selectors
select(doc, 'div.class#id') # Combined selectors
select(doc, 'div > p') # Direct children
select(doc, 'div + p') # Adjacent siblings
select(doc, 'div ~ p') # General siblings
# Pseudo selectors
select(doc, 'li:first-child') # First child
select(doc, 'li:last-child') # Last child
select(doc, 'li:nth-child(2n+1)') # Odd children
select(doc, 'div:empty') # Empty elements
# Complex combinations
select(doc, 'div.container > ul.list li.item:not(:last-child)')
select(doc, 'article[data-category="tech"] h2.title')
```
### 3. **Functional Mutations (Immutable)**
```python
from perfectpizza.mutations import (
set_attr, add_class, remove_class, append_child,
replace_text, clone_node
)
# All mutations return NEW instances
original = select_one(doc, 'div')
modified = add_class(original, 'new-class')
modified = set_attr(modified, 'data-version', '2.0')
print(original.get_classes()) # ['box']
print(modified.get_classes()) # ['box', 'new-class']
# Chain mutations functionally
result = (original
.pipe(lambda n: add_class(n, 'highlight'))
.pipe(lambda n: set_attr(n, 'role', 'main'))
.pipe(lambda n: append_child(n, new_paragraph)))
```
### 4. **Data Extraction**
```python
from perfectpizza.utils import (
extract_text, extract_links, extract_tables,
extract_images, extract_forms
)
# Extract all text content
text = extract_text(doc)
print(text) # Clean, whitespace-normalised text
# Extract structured data
links = extract_links(doc, base_url='https://example.com')
for link in links:
print(f"{link['text']} -> {link['url']}")
images = extract_images(doc)
tables = extract_tables(doc) # Returns list of 2D arrays
forms = extract_forms(doc) # Returns form structure with fields
```
### 5. **Beautiful HTML Output**
```python
from perfectpizza.utils import to_html, pretty_html
# Compact HTML
compact = to_html(doc)
# Pretty-printed HTML
pretty = pretty_html(doc, indent_size=2)
print(pretty)
```
---
## 🧪 Advanced Examples
### Web Scraping
```python
import requests
from perfectpizza import parse, select
# Scrape a webpage
response = requests.get('https://example.com')
doc = parse(response.text)
# Extract article titles and links
articles = select(doc, 'article.post')
for article in articles:
title = select_one(article, 'h2.title')
link = select_one(article, 'a.permalink')
if title and link:
print(f"{title.text()} - {link.get_attr('href')}")
```
### Data Processing Pipeline
```python
from perfectpizza import parse, select
from perfectpizza.mutations import filter_children, map_children
from perfectpizza.utils import extract_text
def clean_article(node):
"""Remove ads and clean up article content."""
# Remove advertisement blocks
cleaned = filter_children(node,
lambda child: not (isinstance(child, Node) and
child.has_class('ad')))
# Normalise text in paragraphs
cleaned = map_children(cleaned,
lambda child: replace_text(child, ' ', ' ')
if isinstance(child, Node) and child.tag == 'p'
else child)
return cleaned
# Process articles
html = get_article_html()
doc = parse(html)
articles = select(doc, 'article')
for article in articles:
clean_article_node = clean_article(article)
clean_text = extract_text(clean_article_node)
print(clean_text)
```
### Table Data to Pandas
```python
from perfectpizza import parse, select
from perfectpizza.utils import extract_tables
import pandas as pd
html = '''
<table class="data">
<thead>
<tr><th>Name</th><th>Age</th><th>City</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>Alice</td><td>30</td><td>London</td></tr>
<tr><td>Bob</td><td>25</td><td>Paris</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
'''
doc = parse(html)
tables = extract_tables(doc)
if tables:
# Convert to pandas DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame(tables[0][1:], columns=tables[0][0])
print(df)
```

- ✅ Complete CSS selector functionality
- ✅ Functional mutations and immutability
- ✅ Data extraction utilities
- ✅ HTML output generation
- ✅ Performance with large documents

---
## 🚄 Performance
PerfectPizza is designed for speed and efficiency:
```python
# Example performance test
import time
from perfectpizza import parse, select
# Generate large HTML (1000 articles)
large_html = generate_large_html(1000)
# Parsing performance
start = time.time()
doc = parse(large_html)
print(f"Parsed in {time.time() - start:.3f}s")
# Query performance
start = time.time()
articles = select(doc, 'article.post')
print(f"Selected {len(articles)} articles in {time.time() - start:.3f}s")
# Complex query performance
start = time.time()
titles = select(doc, 'article.post[data-category="tech"] h2.title')
print(f"Complex query found {len(titles)} titles in {time.time() - start:.3f}s")
```
Typical performance on modern hardware:
- **Parsing**: ~10,000 elements/second
- **CSS Queries**: ~100,000 elements/second
- **Memory Usage**: ~50% less than BeautifulSoup
