Blocks

The main components of the rule expression are blocks. Each block specifies a single extraction query.

The syntax of the block is as follows:

{{TYPE[option1=value;option2=value...]:query}}

A block starts with {{ and ends with }}. Inside the brackets, it starts with the block type followed by a colon (:). Optionally, the block can have related settings. The settings are key value pairs inside a square bracket separated by semi-colon (;). The actual query is specified after the colon.

A block can be one of the following types:

• DOM Block
  • XPATH
  • JQUERY
• String Block
  • REGEX
  • LITERAL
