Html Agility Pack was given as the answer to a StackOverflow question some time ago, is it still the best option? What other options should be considered? Is there something more lightweight?

+1  A: 

I have used this before, pretty easy-to-flow api. I think in C#/.Net domain, this is a very good choice.

There is a java library here. Looks pretty good even though I don't have personal experience.

+1  A: 

If you are prepared to look outside the .NET world, the Python SO community recommends Beautiful Soup, for example html-parser-in-python.

Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround projects like screen-scraping.

A: 

Given no one has said otherwise I think it is reasonable to assume that the Html Agility Pack is a good choose.

(I have provided this answer myself as none of the other answers are complete enough to be the accepted answer and stackoverflow does not like it if I don’t accept an answer. If someone else comes up with a better answers I will change the accepted answer and delete this answer)
