Description: SAX-compliant HTML parser for Java

This is the home page of TagSoup, a SAX-compliant parser written in
Java that, instead of parsing well-formed or valid XML, parses HTML as
it is found in the wild: nasty and brutish, though quite often far
from short. TagSoup is designed for people who have to process this
stuff using some semblance of a rational application design. By
providing a SAX interface, it allows standard XML tools to be applied
to even the worst HTML.

TagSoup is free and Open Source software, licensed under the Academic
Free License, a cleaned-up and patent-safe BSD-style license which
allows proprietary re-use. It's also licensed under the GNU GPL, since
unfortunately the GPL and the AFL are incompatible. You can choose to
license TagSoup from me under either the GPL or the AFL.
