<p class="module-desc">This module implements a simple high performance <span id="xml_1">XML</span> / <span id="html_1">HTML</span> parser. The only encoding that is supported is UTF-8. The parser has been designed to be somewhat error correcting, so that even most &quot;wild HTML&quot; found on the web can be parsed with it. <strong>Note:</strong> This parser does not check that each <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;tag&gt;</span></tt> has a corresponding <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;/tag&gt;</span></tt>! These checks have do be implemented by the client code for various reasons:<ul class="simple"><li>Old HTML contains tags that have no end tag: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&lt;br&gt;</span></tt> for example.</li>
<li>HTML tags are case insensitive, XML tags are case sensitive. Since this library can parse both, only the client knows which comparison is to be used.</li>
<li>Thus the checks would have been very difficult to implement properly with little benefit, especially since they are simple to implement in the client. The client should use the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre"><span class="Identifier">errorMsgExpected</span></span></tt> proc to generate a nice error message that fits the other error messages this library creates.</li>
