Use PhantomJS to extract html and text

Question

I try to extract all the text content of a page (because it doesn\'t work with Simpledomparser)

I try to modify this simple example from the manual

Answer 1

There are multiple ways to retrieve the page content as a string:

• page.content gives the complete source including the markup () and doctype (),

• document.documentElement.outerHTML (via page.evaluate) gives the complete source including the markup (), but without doctype,

• document.documentElement.textContent (via page.evaluate) gives the cumulative text content of the complete document including inline CSS & JavaScript, but without markup,

• document.documentElement.innerText (via page.evaluate) gives the cumulative text content of the complete document excluding inline CSS & JavaScript and without markup.

document.documentElement can be exchanged by an element or query of your choice.
