@hackage html-parse0.2.0.2

This package provides a fast and reasonably robust HTML5 tokenizer built upon the attoparsec library. The parsing strategy is based upon the HTML5 parsing specification with few deviations.

For instance,

>>>

The package targets similar use-cases to the venerable tagsoup library, but is significantly more efficient, achieving parsing speeds of over 80 megabytes per second on modern hardware and typical web documents. Here are some typical performance numbers taken from parsing a Wikipedia article of moderate length:
