About:
Libdom is a lightweight, C-based library that implements the W3C Document Object Model. It provides a standardized way to parse, manipulate, and traverse HTML and XML documents without a rendering engine. Its primary value is enabling other applications, like the NetSurf browser, to interact with web content programmatically.

Key Features:

W3C DOM Level 2 Core compliant
HTML5 parsing support
Low memory footprint and minimal dependencies
C API for direct integration

Use Cases:

Building lightweight web browsers or renderers
Parsing and manipulating HTML/XML in C applications
Web automation tools on resource-constrained systems

Alternatives:

libxml2 – Libxml2 is a more comprehensive XML toolkit, while Libdom specifically focuses on the W3C DOM API for HTML.
