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
