Crate html5tokenizer[−][src]

Expand description

html5tokenizer

This library is a fork of the tokenizer from html5ever with the following changes:

The dependencies on markup5ever, tendril, mac and log were removed. This spares you about 40 build dependencies and the unsafe code from Tendril.
The dependency on phf was made optional: if you don’t need to resolve named entities like &, you can disable the named-entities feature, in which case this library does not have any dependencies (other than the standard library).
This library takes care of appropriately switching tokenizer states based on tag names (e.g. for script and styles) … with the html5ever tokenizer you had to do this yourself.
An optional spans feature has been added to make the tokenizer report the source code spans for parser errors, tag names and attributes. The feature is disabled by default.
The API has been polished, e.g. the internal tokenizer state enums are no longer public and errors are no longer stringly typed.

If you want to parse HTML into a tree (DOM) you should by all means use html5ever, this crate is merely for those who only want an HTML5 tokenizer and seek to minimize their build dependencies (html5ever pulls in 56).
