## What it is
Html Agility Pack (HAP) is a free, open-source HTML parser written in C# that builds a read/write DOM and supports XPath and XSLT queries. It is a .NET library designed to parse real-world, malformed HTML from files, strings, or the web.

## Use cases
- parse html in c#
- scrape data from a website in .net
- extract elements from malformed html
- query html with xpath in c#
- load and manipulate html dom in .net
- download a web page and parse its html

## When to choose
- you are on the .NET platform and need a tolerant, battle-tested HTML parser
- you want XPath/XSLT support or a System.Xml-like object model for HTML
- you need to parse HTML from files, strings, or URLs

## When to avoid
- you need CSS selectors without adding third-party libraries like Fizzler
- you are not working in .NET/C#
- you need a full headless browser for JavaScript-rendered pages

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: parser, web-scraping
- domain: parsers, web-development, crawlers
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: html-parser, xpath, dom-manipulation, c-sharp, html-agility-pack
