> The TagSoup HTML parser is project EOL, and the last update was to create the 1.2.1 version (that Tika references) back in Aug 2011.
> I cannot find any TagSoup forks that are still active but there are many alternative (and perhaps better if you believe the reviews and wikipedia comparisons) html parsers out there.
> Perhaps the most active is already pulled in by Tika as a transitive dependency of edu.ucar:grib, and that is jsoup with over 1,000 usages and updates as recent as a few months ago:
> https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jsoup/jsoup
> https://jsoup.org/
> Requesting consideration of moving away from the long EOL'd TagSoup to an active and modern HTML parser like jsoup that is already a transitive Tika dependency.
