simple HTML parser library for C++

htmlcxx is a simple non-validating CSS1 and HTML parser for C++. Although there are several other html parsers available, htmlcxx has some characteristics that make it unique:

 * STL like navigation of DOM tree, using excellent tree.hh library from
   Kasper Peeters
 * It is possible to reproduce exactly, character by character, the original
   document from the parse tree
 * Bundled CSS parser
 * Optional parsing of attributes
 * C++ code that looks like C++ (not so true anymore)
 * Offsets of tags/elements in the original document are stored in the nodes
   of the DOM tree

The parsing politics of htmlcxx were created trying to mimic Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.org) behavior. So you should expect parse trees similar to those create by Firefox. However, differently from Firefox, htmlcxx does not insert non-existent stuff in your html. Therefore, serializing the DOM tree gives exactly the same bytes contained in the original HTML document.
