Re: [Haskell-cafe] Is XHT a good tool for parsing web pages?

Is XHT a good tool for parsing web pages? I read that it fails if the XML isn't strict and I know a lot of web pages don't use strict XHTML.

Do you mean HXT rather than XHT? I know that the HaXml library has a separate error-correcting HTML parser that works around most of the common non-well-formedness bugs in HTML: Text.XML.HaXml.Html.Parse I believe HXT has a similar parser: Text.XML.HXT.Parser.HtmlParsec Indeed, some of the similarities suggest this parser was originally lifted directly out of HaXml (as permitted by HaXml's licence), although the two modules have now diverged significantly.
