Lexbor is a fast, standards-compliant HTML parser and DOM library written in pure C99, with additional modules for CSS, URL, encoding, and Unicode handling. It serves as the foundation for an in-development browser engine and is used in production by PHP, SerpApi, and popular scraping libraries.
Use cases
- parse html in c
- fast html scraping backend
- manipulate dom tree programmatically
- parse css selectors
- handle url parsing and encoding
- embed html parser in another language runtime
When to choose
- you need one of the fastest HTML parsers with zero dependencies
- you require strict WHATWG HTML5/DOM spec conformance
- you want a lightweight C library to embed or bind to other languages
When to avoid
- you need full browser rendering, layout, or fonts (still in progress)
- you prefer a high-level garbage-collected language API without bindings
- you need JavaScript execution
