About:
Libhubbub is a fast, standards-compliant HTML5 parser library written in C. It provides a low-level tokenization and parsing API, allowing developers to build custom HTML processing tools. Its main value is in handling the complexities of real-world HTML parsing, enabling robust web scraping and rendering engine development.

Key Features:

HTML5 compliant parsing
Low-level C library API
Character encoding handling
Callback-driven architecture

Use Cases:

Building custom web scrapers
Developing rendering engines
Processing and sanitizing HTML content

Alternatives:

libxml2 – Libxml2 is a larger XML/HTML toolkit, whereas Libhubbub is more lightweight and focused specifically on HTML5 parsing.
Gumbo – Gumbo is Google's HTML5 parser; both are modern C libraries, but Libhubbub originates from the NetSurf browser project.
