[![Gerdr Logo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/galvao/gerdr/master/media/Gerdr350.png)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/galvao/gerdr/master/media/Gerdr350.png)

Manipulate DOM HTML trees, powered by PHP's DOM extension.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require galvao/gerdr
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- As an application

```
/path/to/gerdr/bin/gerdr -c /path/to/config.json -d /path/to/dom.html
```

As an application Gerdr outputs the modified DOM HTML so it can be piped, forwarded, etc... to any bash application.

- In your project:

```
try {
    $gerdr = new Gerdr($dom, $config);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    // Treat the exception
}

try {
    $gerdr->process();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    // Treat the exception
}

$result = $gerdr->getModifiedDom();
```
