parse5 is a fast, WHATWG HTML Living Standard-compliant HTML parsing and serialization toolset for Node.js, written in TypeScript. It parses HTML exactly like modern browsers and is trusted by jsdom, Angular, Lit, Cheerio, and rehype.
Use cases
- parse html into a dom tree in node.js
- serialize html from an ast
- build a spec-compliant html5 parser pipeline
- scrape and transform html documents
- power a dom implementation like jsdom
- sanitize or rewrite html markup
When to choose
- you need browser-identical html parsing behavior in node
- you want the fastest spec-compliant html parser for node
- you're building tooling on top of html asts
When to avoid
- you need to parse xml or non-html markup
- you only need simple regex-based tag extraction
- you need a browser-side dom api rather than a node parser
