Convert HTML file with table(s) to DataFrame #71
Description
Hello,
I have an HTML file with a table and would like to convert it to a Julia DataFrame.
I was looking for a function similar to Python Pandas read_html function (which directly output a list of DataFrame).
Unfortunately I don't see similar function in Julia ecosystem
In Gumbo doc I was looking for an example to iterate over rows and colums of each table
here is a basic HTML source file with 2 tables
<!DOCTYPE >
<HTML>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>First table</h1>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>
A
</th>
<th>
B
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
1
</td>
<td>
1.1
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
2
</td>
<td>
2.1
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h1>Second table</h1>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>
AA
</th>
<th>
BB
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
10
</td>
<td>
10.1
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
20
</td>
<td>
20.1
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</HTML>I'm not sure if such example should be part of Gumbo or Cascadia or even EzXML.jl
Anyway none of this project show example with HTML tables... so there is probably a room for doc improvement.
Kind regards
