soup produces a limited ast containing all the information and not really a ful and nice AST for html
Thanks! If something like an AST is emitted that will help a lot. I don't need a full HTML AST right now (well, at the moment I think I don't). But pharo will need one in the mid-term, right? thanks, Norbert

Def works in 1.4... Soup is a must if you may have to deal with ill-formed HTML (i.e. web scraping in general) because it's the only library I know of that handles it robustly. I've used it a lot and it's pretty straightforward. Ok, thanks for the update. I'm not sure handling ill-formedness is a major requirement but it is good to have. Do you know if HTML5 would be handled as ill-formedness? Apart from that I'm interested if kind of a document model is emitted or what it does. Well, I'll have a look.
thanks,
Norbert
