mhtml2html.js

mhtml2html converts MHTML files to a single HTML file using javascript.

Usage

mhtml2html is compatible with Node >= v10.

It has only been tested with MHTML files built and used with the latest versions of Chrome

Node.js Example

mhtml2html can be used via the command line (use the --help flag to view all options):

$ mhtml2html <input.mhtml> <output.html>

For programmatic usage, mhtml2html can be used provided a WHATWG DOM parser implementation (e.g jsdom):

const mhtml2html = require('mhtml2html');
const { JSDOM } = require('jsdom');

const mhtml = '<your MHTML string>';
const htmlDoc = mhtml2html.convert(mhtml, { parseDOM: (html) => new JSDOM(html) });
console.log(htmlDoc);

Browser Example

To get started, import mhtml2html:

import mhtml2html from 'mhtml2html';

Or include it as a script in your webpage:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/mhtml2html@<VERSION>" type="javascript" />

By default, mhtml2html will use the DOMParser available in most browsers:

import mhtml2html from 'mhtml2html';

const mhtml = '<your MHTML string>';
const html = mhtml2html.convert(mhtml);
console.log(html);

API

parse

mhtml2html.parse(mhtml, { htmlOnly = false, parseDOM = <function> });

mhtml: An MHTML String.
options.htmlOnly: If set to true, returns the html document without resources.
options.parseDOM: A callback that accepts a DOM string and returns a window object (defaults to DOMParser only available in browsers).
Returns an html document without resources if htmlOnly is set to true. Otherwise it returns an MHTML parsed object:

{
    "index" : "<html-index-url>",
    "media": {
        "<asset-url>" : {
            "data" : "<resource-string>",
            "id": "<frame-id>",
            "type": "<resource-type>",
            "encoding": "<resource-encoding>"
        }
    },
    "frames": {
        "<frame-id>": {
            "data": "<resource-string>",
            "id": "<frame-id>",
            "type:": "<resource-type>",
            "encoding": "<resource-encoding>"
        }
    }
}

options.convertIframes: Whether or not to include iframes in the converted response (defaults to false).
