How to parse complete HTML web page not specific nodes using HTML Agility Pack or any other technique?
I am using this code, but this code only parse specific node, but I need complete page to parse with neat and clear contents
List<string> list = new List<string>();
string url = "https://www.google.com";
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = web.Load(url);
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//a"))
{
list.Add(node.InnerText);
}
Accepted Answer
To get all descendant text nodes use something like
var textNodes = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//text()").
Select(t=>t.InnerText);
To get all non empty descendant text nodes
var textNodes = doc.DocumentNode.
SelectNodes("//text()[normalize-space()]").
Select(t=>t.InnerText);

Do SelectNodes("*") . '*' (asterisk) Is the wild card selector and will get every node on the page.
