htmlSQL is a experimental PHP class which allows you to access HTML values by an SQL like syntax. This means that you don’t have to write complex functions (regular expressions) to extract specific values. The htmlSQL queries look like this:

All web transfers in htmlSQL are using the awesome Snoopy class (package version 1.2.3) But for file or string queries Snoopy is not required. You find all Snoopy related documents (copyright, readme, etc) in the snoopy_data/ folder.
