The following dependencies were removed: + +* [markup5ever](https://crates.io/crates/markup5ever) + `buffer_queue` and `smallcharset` were merged into the source code + +* [tendril](https://crates.io/crates/tendril) + According to its README it contains "a substantial amount of unsafe code". + This fork replaces the tendril strings with plain old `std::string::String`s. + +* [mac](https://crates.io/crates/mac) + The only macros actually needed (`format_if` and `test_eq`) were merged into + the source code. + +* [log](https://crates.io/crates/log) + Was only used for debug output. + +If you want to parse HTML into a tree (DOM) you should by all means use +html5ever, this crate is merely for those who only want an HTML5 tokenizer and +seek to minimize their compile dependencies (html5ever pulls in 56). + +## Credits + +Thanks to the developers of html5ever for their awesome parser! |
