About:
Lexbor is a high-performance, embeddable web browser engine implemented in pure C99 with zero external dependencies. It provides comprehensive HTML5 parsing, CSS selection, and DOM manipulation capabilities, making it ideal for integrating web standards into native applications without the overhead of larger browser engines.
Key Features:
  • Zero-dependency C99 implementation
  • Fast HTML5 and CSS3 parsing
  • Full DOM API support
  • Memory-efficient design
  • No external libraries required
Use Cases:
  • Web scraping and data extraction in C/C++ applications
  • Embedding web rendering capabilities in desktop applications
  • Building lightweight web-enabled IoT device interfaces
  • Creating headless browser automation tools
Alternatives:
  • libxml2 – Lexbor provides full HTML5/CSS3 support vs libxml2's focus on XML/HTML parsing
  • WebKit – Lexbor is lightweight and embeddable vs WebKit's large binary size and dependencies
  • Chromium Embedded Framework – Lexbor has no dependencies vs CEF's heavy Chromium requirement
