## What it is
A forgiving HTML/XML/RSS parser written in pure JavaScript that works in both Node.js and browsers. It supports streaming/chunked parsing and custom handlers for building custom DOM structures.

## Use cases
- parse html into a dom in nodejs
- parse html in the browser with javascript
- parse rss and atom feeds
- parse malformed or forgiving html
- stream chunked html data into a parser
- build a custom dom from html with a custom handler

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight parser that runs in both Node and the browser
- you must parse messy, non-well-formed HTML or RSS feeds
- you need streaming/chunked parsing of large documents

## When to avoid
- you need a spec-compliant, actively maintained HTML5 parser (consider htmlparser2 or parse5)
- you need CSS selector-based querying rather than raw DOM trees

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: parser
- domain: parsers, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: html-parsing, xml-parsing, rss, streaming-parser, dom, nodejs, javascript
