As stated in the title. I am needing to return all of the content within the body tags of an html document, including any subsequent html tags, etc. Im curious to know what the best way to go about this is. I had a working solution with the Gokogiri package, however I am trying to stay away from any packages that depend on C libraries. Is there a way to accomplish this with the go standard library? or with a package that is 100% go?

Since posting my original question I have attempted to use the following packages that have yielded no resolution. (Neither of which seem to return subsequent children or nested tags from inside the body. For example: 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            Title of the document
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        body content 
        <p>more content</p>
    </body>
</html>
  • pkg/encoding/xml/ (standard library xml package)
  • golang.org/x/net/html

The over all goal would be to obtain a string or content that would look like:

<body>
    body content 
    <p>more content</p>
</body>
