Neko HTML vs Tagsoup

[Talat Uyarer <ta...@uyarer.com>]

Hi all,
We have two parsers library to parse HTML content: neko and tagsoup, could
you
explain which one should be preferred to the other and why? Or isn't there
any difference at all?

Do we have benchmarks each one ?

Thanks

Hi Talat,

... and there's also parse-tika which uses tagsoup.

There are subtle differences, eg., regarding upper/lower case of element
and attribute names in the DOM, see NUTCH-1592.

There has been a discussion [1] @user about parser benchmarks,
and there is the more general o.a.n.tools.Benchmark class [2].
But I don't know about a reliable HTML parser benchmark.
Would be nice to have one including
- all 3 possible parsers (parse-html with neko or tagsoup, parse-tika)
- quality/correctnes (eg., when parsing HTML5)
- speed
