retrieving text from a website with goquery

I have a html roughly looking like this:

<h4>Movies</h4>

I need to use goquery to get as much information out of this page as possible. I know how to extract the external links replaced by the word "link" in this fragment, I know how to get to the links with more details but I also want to extract the information only contained in text, i.e. year (in the headings), running time, shortened description and PG rating. I couldn't figure out how to do this in goquery because this text isn't surrounded by any divs or other tags. I tried looking for h5 tags and then calling .Next() on them but I could only find the <br> tags, not the text inbetween. How can I do that? If there's a better way to do it than using goquery, I'm fine with that. My code looks like this.

// Retrieve the page count:
    res, err = http.Get("myUrlAddress")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(-1)
    }
    doc, err = goquery.NewDocumentFromResponse(res)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        os.Exit(-1)
    }
    links := doc.Find(`a[href*="pageIndex"]`)
    fmt.Println(links.Length()) // Output page count
s := doc.Find("h5").First().Next() // I expect it to be the text after the heading.
fmt.Println(s.Text()) // But it's empty and if I check the node type it says br

Solution

I somehow don't like the idea of using regex to parse html. I feel it to be too fragile against minor changes like tags order or something like that.

I think it is the best to fall back on html.Node(golang.org/x/net/html), which goquery is based on. The idea is to iterate over siblings until it runs out, or the next h5 is encountered. It might be a little trouble to deal with links or any other element tags as the html.Node provides a rather unfriendly api regarding attributes, but switching back to goquery from it is even more trouble.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/PuerkitoBio/goquery"
    "golang.org/x/net/html"
    "golang.org/x/net/html/atom"
    "os"
    "strings"
)

type Movie struct {
}

func (m Movie) addTitle(s string) {
    fmt.Println("Title", s)
}

func (m Movie) addProperty(s string) {
    if s == "" {
        return
    }
    fmt.Println("Property", s)
}

var M []*Movie

func parseMovie(i int, s *goquery.Selection) {
    m := &Movie{}
    m.addTitle(s.Text())

loop:
    for node := s.Nodes[0].NextSibling; node != nil; node = node.NextSibling {
        switch node.Type {
        case html.TextNode:
            m.addProperty(strings.TrimSpace(node.Data))
        case html.ElementNode:
            switch node.DataAtom {
            case atom.A:
                //link, do something. You may want to transfer back to go query
                fmt.Println(node.Attr)
            case atom.Br:
                continue
            case atom.H5:
                break loop
            }
        }
    }

    M = append(M, m)
}

func main() {
    r, err := os.Open("movie.html")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    doc, err := goquery.NewDocumentFromReader(r)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    doc.Find("h5").Each(parseMovie)
}
