ModestEx

Elixir/Erlang bindings for lexborisovs Modest

Modest is a fast HTML renderer implemented as a pure C99 library with no outside dependencies.

The binding is implemented as a C-Node following the excellent example in @Overbryd package nodex. If you want to learn how to set up bindings to C/C++, you should definitely check it out.

C-Nodes are external os-processes that communicate with the Erlang VM through erlang messaging. That way you can implement native code and call into it from Elixir in a safe predictable way. The Erlang VM stays unaffected by crashes of the external process.

Example

Please check this out this list of features.

iex> ModestEx.find("<p><a>Hello</a> World</p>", "p a")
{:ok, "<a>Hello</a>"}

iex> ModestEx.serialize("<div>Hello<span>World")
{:ok, "<html><head></head><body><div>Hello<span>World</span></div></body></html>"}
