CSS Selector Converter

A CSS Selector to XPath Selector for Objective-C. Support mostly used subset of CSS Selector Level 3.

I build this converter so that I can use .class instead of //*[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' class ')] in IGHTMLQuery.

Usage

#import "CSSSelectorConverter.h"

CSSSelectorToXPathConverter* converter = [[CSSSelectorToXPathConverter alloc] init];
[converter xpathWithCSS:@"p" error:nil];
// => "//p"

[converter xpathWithCSS:@"p.intro" error:nil];
// => "//p[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' intro ')]"

Status

It supports following CSS Selectors:

*                                "//*"
p                                "//p"
p.intro                          "//p[contains(concat(' ', normalize-space(@class), ' '), ' intro ')]"
p#apple                          "//p[@id = 'apple']"
p *                              "//p//*"
p > *                            "//p/*"
H1 + P                           "//H1/following-sibling::*[1]/self::P"
H1 ~ P                           "//H1/following-sibling::P"
ul, ol                           "//ul | //ol"
p[align]                         "//p[@align]"
p[class~="intro"]                "//p[contains(concat(" ", @class, " "),concat(" ", 'intro', " "))]"
div[att|="val"]                  "//div[@att = "val" or starts-with(@att, concat("val", '-'))]"

It supports following pseduo classes:

first-child
last-child
first-of-type
last-of-type
only-child
only-of-type
empty

Currently pseduo classes with parameters are not supported (I probably will not implement them until I really NEEDS them):

nth-child()
nth-last-child()
nth-of-type()
nth-last-of-type()
not()

Following pseduo classes will not be supported:

Dynamic pseudo classes (:link, :visied, :hover … etc)
UI elements states pseudo-classes (:enabled, :checked, :indeterminate)
:target
:lang
:root
