Adds elements(html, tagNames) so simple-wappalyzer can read meta + script with the same HTML parsing rules (foreign content, integration points, breakout, template, noscript) instead of its own htmlparser2 loop. That loop regresses on htmlparser2 v12.

const { elements } = require('html-scripts')
elements('<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 6.4"><script async src="/app.js"></script>', ['meta', 'script'])
// { meta: [ { name: 'generator', content: 'WordPress 6.4' } ], script: [ { async: '', src: '/app.js' } ] }

What changed

  • src/index.js: the parser body is now extract(html, tagNames, setAttribute). The default export calls it with ['script'] and the existing value mapping (booleans, last value wins), so its output is unchanged. elements uses DOM semantics: string values, first value wins, Object.hasOwn so constructor/toString attributes work.
  • test/elements.js: 8 tests (document order, empty lists, raw values, first-wins, prototype-named attributes, template/noscript/raw text, meta breaking out of svg, svg markup).
  • README: an "Other tags" section. I ran the example and the output matches.

How it was tested

  • npm test: 51 tests, 100% coverage. The existing 43 pass unchanged.
  • Differential fuzz against parse5, meta + script, 50k inputs × 3 seeds: simple-wappalyzer's current getElements has ~10,750 spec mismatches, elements has 17-29. The default export's fuzz numbers are identical to master.
  • Interleaved A/B benchmark of the default export against master: +0.2% to +1.5% (about 1 ns per tag for the Set lookup that replaced name === 'script'). Trying a Map lookup that reuses the list didn't help, so I kept the simpler version.

Minor release (new export, no behaviour change). simple-wappalyzer's PR follows once this is published.

Note: the pre-commit hook (nano-staged) races when .js and .md files are staged together (both task groups run git add at once, index.lock exists), so the docs are a separate commit.

Note

Medium Risk
Shared parsing refactor touches HTML tokenization and namespace edge cases, though the default script export is intended to stay compatible; attribute handling changes include prototype-pollution hardening.

Overview
Adds elements(html, tagNames, options?), which returns a map of tag names to arrays of attribute objects in document order, using the same foreign-content, integration-point, template, and noscript rules as the existing script parser.

The default export is refactored through shared extract() and should behave the same: still only script tags, boolean-ish attributes, and last-wins on duplicates. elements uses DOM-style string values, first-wins on repeated attributes, lowercase SVG tag matching, and optional { scripting: false } so <noscript> inner markup is parsed. Attribute assignment goes through defineOwn so names like __proto__ stay safe on both APIs.

README documents the new API; test/elements.js and a default-export __proto__ test cover the new behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an elements export to collect attributes from multiple tag types, with results in document order.
    • Supports parsing noscript content as markup when scripting is disabled. By default, template content, noscript, and raw-text elements are excluded.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Attribute names such as __proto__ are retained safely in results. For elements, repeated attributes keep the first value; script attributes keep the last.
  • Documentation
    • Documented tag-name casing, parsing behavior, and the scripting option.

The parser state (namespaces, integration points, breakout, template and
noscript handling) now runs for a list of tag names. `elements` returns
their attributes with DOM semantics: string values, first value of a
repeated attribute wins. The default export is unchanged.

Lets simple-wappalyzer read meta and script tags with the same spec
handling instead of keeping its own htmlparser2 loop.

Walkthrough

The default export continues to extract script attributes. A new elements export collects attributes for requested tag names. Shared extraction handles duplicate attributes and parser contexts, including template content, foreign content, and noscript behavior.

Changes: Multi-tag extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared extraction and elements API
src/index.js, test/elements.js, test/index.js, README.md
Shared extraction supports requested tag names. The new elements export returns arrays of attribute objects, validates that tagNames is an array, and uses the first value for repeated attributes. The default export retains last-value behavior. Tests cover attribute values and prototype-safe handling, and the README documents the API.
Parser-context and noscript handling
src/index.js, test/elements.js
Matching tags inside HTML templates are not collected. noscript content is skipped when scripting is enabled outside foreign content. Tests cover template, raw-text, SVG, and MathML parsing contexts.

Some requested SVG elements are silently omitted. Correct tag matching before relying on those results.

With { scripting: false }, noscript content is read as markup, as in a
browser with JavaScript off. simple-wappalyzer detects technologies from
meta tags inside noscript and keeps doing so.

Added { scripting: false } (f2afe2c, fd24f80): <noscript> content is parsed as markup, as in a browser with JavaScript off. It matches parse5 scriptingEnabled: false. simple-wappalyzer needs it because test/html.js asserts <meta> inside <noscript> is detected. 52 tests, 100% coverage.

The template depth was incremented before the tag was collected, so an
HTML template never showed up in its own result. Assignment also cannot
store an attribute or tag named __proto__.

htmlparser2 emits linearGradient and foreignObject inside SVG, so a
lowercase tag list missed them. Namespace checks still use the original
spelling.
