html-parse

html-parse is an efficient, reasonably robust HTML tokenizer based on the HTML5 tokenization specification. The parser is written using the fast attoparsec parsing library and can exposes both a native attoparsec Parser as well as convenience functions for lazily parsing token streams out of strict and lazy Text values.

For instance,

>>> parseTokens "<div><h1>Hello World</h1><br/><p class=widget>Example!</p></div>"
[TagOpen "div" [],TagOpen "h1" [],ContentText "Hello World",TagClose "h1",TagSelfClose "br" [],TagOpen "p" [Attr "class" "widget"],ContentText "Example!",TagClose "p",TagClose "div"]

Performance

Here are some typical performance numbers taken from parsing a fairly long Wikipedia article,

benchmarking Forced/tagsoup fast Text
time                 171.2 ms   (166.4 ms .. 177.3 ms)
                     0.999 R²   (0.997 R² .. 1.000 R²)
mean                 171.9 ms   (169.4 ms .. 173.2 ms)
std dev              2.516 ms   (1.104 ms .. 3.558 ms)
variance introduced by outliers: 12% (moderately inflated)

benchmarking Forced/tagsoup normal Text
time                 176.9 ms   (167.3 ms .. 188.5 ms)
                     0.998 R²   (0.994 R² .. 1.000 R²)
