At A Glance
-----------

[](#at-a-glance)

QueryPath is a jQuery-like library for working with XML and HTML documents in PHP. It now contains support for HTML5 via the [HTML5-PHP project](https://github.com/Masterminds/html5-php).

### Gettings Started

[](#gettings-started)

Assuming you have successfully installed QueryPath via Composer, you can parse documents like this:

```
require_once "vendor/autoload.php";

// HTML5 (new)
$qp = html5qp("path/to/file.html");

// Legacy HTML via libxml
$qp = htmlqp("path/to/file.html");

// XML or XHTML
$qp = qp("path/to/file.html");

// All of the above can take string markup instead of a file name:
$qp = qp("")

```

But the real power comes from chaining. Check out the example below.

### Example Usage

[](#example-usage)

Say we have a document like this:

```

    onetwothree

    fourfivesix

```

And say that the above is stored in the variable `$xml`. Now we can use QueryPath like this:

```
