This library wraps functionality of lexborisovs Modest. It is written in in pure C99 and exposes a lot of useful features to parse and manipulate a html DOM. Internally it makes use of rxis excellent vec, map and dmt libraries.
Modest is a fast HTML renderer implemented as a pure C99 library with no outside dependencies.
-
- HTML5 parsing library in pure C99
- fully conformant with the HTML5 spec
-
- A type-safe dynamic array implementation for C
-
- A type-safe generic hashmap implementation for C.
-
- Dynamic Memory Tracker (DMT) Library
2.0.1
For more examples please checkout tests.
