How to convert HTML to JSON using PHP

How to convert JSON to HTML using JsontoHtml library. Now,I need to convert present HTML to JSON as shown in this site. When looked into the code I found the following script:

<script>
$(function(){

    //HTML to JSON
    $('#btn-render-json').click(function() {

        //Set html output
        $('#html-output').html( $('#html-input').val() );

        //Process to JSON and format it for consumption
        $('#html-json').html( FormatJSON(toTransform($('#html-output').children())) );
    });

});

//Convert obj or array to transform
function toTransform(obj) {

    var json;

    if( obj.length > 1 )
    {
        json = [];

        for(var i = 0; i < obj.length; i++)
            json[json.length++] = ObjToTransform(obj[i]);
    } else
        json = ObjToTransform(obj);

    return(json);
}

//Convert obj to transform
function ObjToTransform(obj)
{
    //Get the DOM element
    var el = $(obj).get(0);

    //Add the tag element
    var json = {'tag':el.nodeName.toLowerCase()};

    for (var attr, i=0, attrs=el.attributes, l=attrs.length; i<l; i++){
        attr = attrs[i];
        json[attr.nodeName] = attr.value;
    }

    var children = $(obj).children();

    if( children.length > 0 ) json['children'] = [];
    else json['html'] = $(obj).text();

    //Add the children
    for(var c = 0; c < children.length; c++)
        json['children'][json['children'].length++] = toTransform(children[c]);

    return(json);
}

//Format JSON (with indents)
function FormatJSON(oData, sIndent) {
    if (arguments.length < 2) {
        var sIndent = "";
    }
    var sIndentStyle = "  ";
    var sDataType = RealTypeOf(oData);

    // open object
    if (sDataType == "array") {
        if (oData.length == 0) {
            return "[]";
        }
        var sHTML = "[";
    } else {
        var iCount = 0;
        $.each(oData, function() {
            iCount++;
            return;
        });
        if (iCount == 0) { // object is empty
            return "{}";
        }
        var sHTML = "{";
    }

    // loop through items
    var iCount = 0;
    $.each(oData, function(sKey, vValue) {
        if (iCount > 0) {
            sHTML += ",";
        }
        if (sDataType == "array") {
            sHTML += ("\n" + sIndent + sIndentStyle);
        } else {
            sHTML += ("\"" + sKey + "\"" + ":");
        }

        // display relevant data type
        switch (RealTypeOf(vValue)) {
            case "array":
            case "object":
                sHTML += FormatJSON(vValue, (sIndent + sIndentStyle));
                break;
            case "boolean":
            case "number":
                sHTML += vValue.toString();
                break;
            case "null":
                sHTML += "null";
                break;
            case "string":
                sHTML += ("\"" + vValue + "\"");
                break;
            default:
                sHTML += ("TYPEOF: " + typeof(vValue));
        }

        // loop
        iCount++;
    });

    // close object
    if (sDataType == "array") {
        sHTML += ("\n" + sIndent + "]");
    } else {
        sHTML += ("}");
    }

    // return
    return sHTML;
}

//Get the type of the obj (can replace by jquery type)
function RealTypeOf(v) {
  if (typeof(v) == "object") {
    if (v === null) return "null";
    if (v.constructor == (new Array).constructor) return "array";
    if (v.constructor == (new Date).constructor) return "date";
    if (v.constructor == (new RegExp).constructor) return "regex";
    return "object";
  }
  return typeof(v);
}
</script>

How to do that?

Hello @kartik,

If you are able to obtain a DOMDocument object representing your HTML, then you just need to traverse it recursively and construct the data structure that you want.

Converting your HTML document into a DOMDocument should be as simple as this:

function html_to_obj($html) {
    $dom = new DOMDocument();
    $dom->loadHTML($html);
    return element_to_obj($dom->documentElement);
}

Then, a simple traversal of $dom->documentElement which gives the kind of structure you described could look like this:

function element_to_obj($element) {
    $obj = array( "tag" => $element->tagName );
    foreach ($element->attributes as $attribute) {
        $obj[$attribute->name] = $attribute->value;
    }
    foreach ($element->childNodes as $subElement) {
        if ($subElement->nodeType == XML_TEXT_NODE) {
            $obj["html"] = $subElement->wholeText;
        }
        else {
            $obj["children"][] = element_to_obj($subElement);
        }
    }
    return $obj;
}

Hope this is helpful!!
