MyHTML is a fast HTML Parser using Threads implemented as a pure C99 library with no outside dependencies.

The current version is 0.6.1 - this is a beta version
Release will have major version number 1

• Asynchronous Parsing, Build Tree and Indexation
• Fully conformant with the HTML5 specification
• Two API - high and low-level
• Manipulation of elements: add, change, delete and other
• Manipulation of elements attributes: add, change, delete and other
• Support 34 character encoding by specification encoding.spec.whatwg.org
• Support detecting character encodings
• Support Single Mode parsing
• Support Build without POSIX Threads
• Support for fragment parsing
• Support for parsing by chunks
• No outside dependencies
• C99 support
• Passes all tree construction tests from html5lib-tests

The Story of Creation

• Article with charts
• Benchmark code
• Images and CSV

Make

make

If successful copy lib/* and include/* at the right place for you

Flags that can be passed to make:

• MyHTML_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL=-O2 set compiler optimization level. Default: -O2
• MyHTML_BUILD_WITHOUT_THREADS=YES build without POSIX Threads. Default: NO

for example

make MyHTML_BUILD_WITHOUT_THREADS=NO

cp lib/* /usr/local/lib
cp -r include/* /usr/local/include

CMake

In myhtml/project directory:

cmake .
make
sudo make install

Flags that can be passed to CMake:

• MyHTML_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL=-O2 set compiler optimization level. Default: -O2
• CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib set path to install created library. Default: lib
• MyHTML_BUILD_SHARED=ON build shared library. Default: ON
• MyHTML_BUILD_STATIC=ON build static library. Default: ON
• MyHTML_INSTALL_HEADER=OFF install header files. Default OFF
• MyHTML_BUILD_WITHOUT_THREADS=YES build without POSIX Threads. Default: NO

for example

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib64 -DMyHTML_INSTALL_HEADER=ON

I advise to build using clang, but decided to show examples of gcc

for example

build with shared library

gcc -Wall -Werror -O2 -lmyhtml your_program.c -o your_program

build with static library

gcc -Wall -Werror -O2 your_program.c /path/to/static_libmyhtml.a -o your_program

Works are in full swing

• make test && make install
• Build in Windows OS
• external bindings (Perl, PHP, Python, Erlang, Node.js, C#, R, Ruby, Rust and other)
• ...
• css parsing && selectors (is ready, but I do not like it and will remodel)
• html render without js (in fact, he is ready, we do refactoring before publication, see previous)

None

• Perl 5 module
• Crystal binding

See examples directory

Simple example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#include <myhtml/api.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    char html[] = "<div><span>HTML</span></div>";
    
    // basic init
    myhtml_t* myhtml = myhtml_create();
    myhtml_init(myhtml, MyHTML_OPTIONS_DEFAULT, 1, 0);
    
    // first tree init 
    myhtml_tree_t* tree = myhtml_tree_create();
    myhtml_tree_init(tree, myhtml);
    
    // parse html
    myhtml_parse(tree, MyHTML_ENCODING_UTF_8, html, strlen(html));
    
    // release resources
    myhtml_tree_destroy(tree);
    myhtml_destroy(myhtml);
    
    return 0;
}
