libhtml – simple HTML parsing library

DESCRIPTION

libhtml is a minimal, open source (ISC-licensed) C library for parsing, serialising, and manipulating HTML-4.01-strict and XHTML-1.0-strict documents. You may enjoy this library if you're interested in tight correctness of input and output data.

Why? The predominant open source HTML parser, libxml, is enormous and complicated. For our needs, we wanted a small, strongly-validating parser focussing only on strict HTML.

The libhtml library is a BSD.lv Project member.

SOURCES

Sources correctly build and install on OpenBSD, NetBSD, and GNU/Linux operating systems, tested variously on generic i386, AMD64, and DEC Alpha. The current version is 0.3.0.

NEWS

24-06-2010: version 0.3.0

22-04-2010: version 0.2.14

Added the hnode_alloc_chars function and changed the behaviour of hnode_alloc_text.

17-03-2010: version 0.2.13
