[FAILED] 10x faster than LibXML
Hi
Sure, put it on CPAN.
When you write the docs, please include a 'See Also' section, mentioning the other modules (and programs) you've looked at.
Be sure to mention Marpa::R2, which has its own HTML parser:

[FAILED] 10x faster than LibXML
I wonder how many of these speed benefits could be retained if PugiXML were used as an alternative parser for XML::LibXML. That is, turn PugiXML parsing events into XML::LibXML::Node objects.

[FAILED] 10x faster than LibXML
Toby, thank you for your interest.
I was thinking about the same in context of writing drop-in replacement for Web::Scraper, similar to Web::Scraper::LibXML for about 3 minutes and then rejected this idea.
Again, this doesn’t mean that idea is bad. It’s brilliant! Finally, it come to my head. The problem is that at the moment I see a lot of efforts and less of outcome in the end.
However, I totally encourage you, as well as anyone who would like to, to participate PugiXML development just to get an idea of it’s internals and then together or individually decide…

[FAILED] 10x faster than LibXML
I have recently started contributing to Web::Query, a jQuery-like (as close as possible) for html scrapping and manipulation.
Because its based on HTML::TreeBuilder/HTML::Element, its very slow, and some XPath queries are incredibly slow.
So I would definitely use PugiXML!
We need PugiXML and HTML::TreeBuilder::PugiXML as a drop-in replacement for HTML::TreeBuilder (like HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML which if fully implemented, would also help a lot! :) ).
Thank you!!
