Hey!

Sorry, can you please elaborate? Do you want to add the attributes to the description?

It’s a common question, what are the ways to transform serialized or structured (HTML) data?
Can this only be done inside expressions and function nodes?

I guess that depends on how to you want to transform the data. Usually when it comes to mapping data, I use a function node.

That would actually be a nice addition to have something like GitHub - chishui/JSSoup: JavaScript + BeautifulSoup = JSSoup built in.

There is the HTML Extract-Node:

Hi Jan, oh thank you, I hadn’t seen that one. I think “Extraction Values: Text: Get only the text content of the element.” is already very helpful. What do you say @Roket ?
For other tooling an external API might be useful (can be self hosted).
