Given a string representing a code snippet, you need to implement a tag validator to parse the code and return whether it is valid. A code snippet is valid if all the following rules hold:
- The code must be wrapped in a valid closed tag. Otherwise, the code is invalid.
- A closed tag (not necessarily valid) has exactly the following format :
<TAG_NAME>TAG_CONTENT</TAG_NAME>
. Among them,<TAG_NAME>
is the start tag, and</TAG_NAME>
is the end tag. The TAG_NAME in start and end tags should be the same. A closed tag is valid if and only if the TAG_NAME and TAG_CONTENT are valid. - A valid
TAG_NAME
only contain upper-case letters, and has length in range [1,9]. Otherwise, theTAG_NAME
is invalid. - A valid
TAG_CONTENT
may contain other valid closed tags, cdata and any characters (see note1) EXCEPT unmatched<
, unmatched start and end tag, and unmatched or closed tags with invalid TAG_NAME. Otherwise, theTAG_CONTENT
is invalid. - A start tag is unmatched if no end tag exists with the same TAG_NAME, and vice versa. However, you also need to consider the issue of unbalanced when tags are nested.
- A
<
is unmatched if you cannot find a subsequent>
. And when you find a<
or</
, all the subsequent characters until the next>
should be parsed as TAG_NAME (not necessarily valid). - The cdata has the following format :
<![CDATA[CDATA_CONTENT]]>
. The range ofCDATA_CONTENT
is defined as the characters between<![CDATA[
and the first subsequent]]>
. CDATA_CONTENT
may contain any characters. The function of cdata is to forbid the validator to parseCDATA_CONTENT
, so even it has some characters that can be parsed as tag (no matter valid or invalid), you should treat it as regular characters.
Valid Code Examples:
Input: "<DIV>This is the first line <![CDATA[<div>]]></DIV>" Output: True Explanation: The code is wrapped in a closed tag : <DIV> and </DIV>. The TAG_NAME is valid, the TAG_CONTENT consists of some characters and cdata. Although CDATA_CONTENT has unmatched start tag with invalid TAG_NAME, it should be considered as plain text, not parsed as tag. So TAG_CONTENT is valid, and then the code is valid. Thus return true. Input: "<DIV>>> ![cdata[]] <![CDATA[<div>]>]]>]]>>]</DIV>" Output: True Explanation: We first separate the code into : start_tag|tag_content|end_tag. start_tag -> "<DIV>" end_tag -> "</DIV>" tag_content could also be separated into : text1|cdata|text2. text1 -> ">> ![cdata[]] " cdata -> "<![CDATA[<div>]>]]>", where the CDATA_CONTENT is "<div>]>" text2 -> "]]>>]" The reason why start_tag is NOT "<DIV>>>" is because of the rule 6. The reason why cdata is NOT "<![CDATA[<div>]>]]>]]>" is because of the rule 7.
Invalid Code Examples:
Input: "<A> <B> </A> </B>" Output: False Explanation: Unbalanced. If "<A>" is closed, then "<B>" must be unmatched, and vice versa. Input: "<DIV> div tag is not closed <DIV>" Output: False Input: "<DIV> unmatched < </DIV>" Output: False Input: "<DIV> closed tags with invalid tag name <b>123</b> </DIV>" Output: False Input: "<DIV> unmatched tags with invalid tag name </1234567890> and <CDATA[[]]> </DIV>" Output: False Input: "<DIV> unmatched start tag <B> and unmatched end tag </C> </DIV>" Output: False
Note:
- For simplicity, you could assume the input code (including the any characters mentioned above) only contain
letters
,digits
,'<'
,'>'
,'/'
,'!'
,'['
,']'
and' '
.
首先对于这种成对匹配的问题肯定是要用栈stack的,就像之前的匹配括号的问题。那么我们来遍历code字符串,首先是判断,如果当前遍历到的字符非首字符,并且栈为空,那么直接返回false。虽然只是短短的一句但其实非常的重要,这句就排除了很多错误情况,比如开头结尾不是标签的情况,以及没有标签的情况,和开头的标签在中间就闭合了情况等等,非常powerful的一句判断。然后我们来处理包含CDATA的情况,当然是要先匹配到"<![CDATA[",然后我们用find来找结束标志"]]>",如果没找到,直接返回false,找到了点话就继续遍历,顺便把当前遍历的位置移到结束标志符的最后一位上。
如果我们只匹配到了"</",说明是个结束标签,那么我们用find来找到右尖括号'>',如果没找到直接返回false,找到了就把tag到内容提出来,然后看此时的stack,如果stack为空,或者栈顶元素不等于tag,直接返回false,否则就将栈顶元素取出。
如果我们只匹配到了"<",说明是个起始标签,还是要找右尖括号,如果找不到,或者标签的长度为0,或者大于9了,直接返回true。然后遍历标签的每一位,如果不全是大些字母,返回false,否则就把tag压入栈。那么你可能会有疑问,为啥在处理结束标签时,没有这些额外的判断呢,因为结束标签要和栈顶元素比较,栈里的标签肯定都是合法的,所以如果结束标签不合法,那么肯定不相等,也就直接返回false了。最后我们看栈是否为空,如果不为空,说明有未封闭的标签,返回false。
