The parser in WOLips is a VERRRYY modified FuzzyXMLParser, modified to
be incredibly tolerant of terrible html (tolerant in that it will give
a reasonable parse tree back even when your html is nasty). I looked
at a lot of options before going w/ this one, but we also had some
very particular requirements that had to be met, so I needed something
that was pretty close out of the box, but that looked like it could be
molded to exactly what we needed. In particular, we have to support
craziness like <tr class="<webobject name ="whatever"></webobject>">
and actually return a parse tree back that makes any sort of sense. I
haven't tried, but I suspect that code is actually pretty independent
if you wanted to try to pull it out.
