recommendation for html parser library in as3 for flex project

Question

Hi,

Can somebody recommend a simple html parsing library, written in as3 for a flex project?

Thanks,

Nava

Answer 1

Hi Nava. If Google is unable to locate such a parsing library for you, then you may have to offload HTML parsing to an external application. If you are using PHP, then I highly recommend Simple HTML DOM. If you are using Ruby, then I recommend hpricot.

Parsing on the clint-side is an interesting idea, since parsing is often computationally intensive.

Answer 2

If you need to parse an html file which essentially is a xml file you could use ascorelib which is an opensource actionscript library. Examples of using he library are found here http://code.google.com/p/as3corelib/wiki/Resources

Answer 3

Best one and specified for HTML and CSS is Cross-browser compliant HTML/CSS rendering engine written in ActionScript, open source
