# html5tokenizer

This library is a fork of the tokenizer from [html5ever] with the following
changes:

* The dependencies on [markup5ever], [tendril], [mac] and [log] were removed.
  This spares you about 40 build dependencies and the `unsafe` code from Tendril.

* The dependency on [phf] was made optional: if you don't need to resolve named
  entities like `&`, you can disable the `named-entities` feature, in which
  case this library does not have any dependencies (other than the standard
  library).

* This library takes care of appropriately switching tokenizer states based on
  tag names (e.g. for `script` and `styles`) ... with the html5ever tokenizer
  you had to do this yourself.

* An optional `spans` feature has been added to make the tokenizer report the
  source code spans for tag names, attribute names and attribute values.
  The feature is disabled by default.

* The API has been polished, e.g. the internal tokenizer state enums are no
  longer public and errors are no longer stringly typed.

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 build dependencies (html5ever pulls in 56).
