AngleSharp – A .NET HTML Parser That Became a Foundation for Many Projects

Описание и применение

AngleSharp – это библиотека .NET, обеспечивающая стандартизированный парсинг HTML, CSS, SVG и XML. Начавшись как проект в самолёте, она превратилась в основу для множества приложений, включая HtmlSanitizer, bUnit и PreMailer.Net, и достигла более 500 млн установок.

Задача

Developers needed a standards‑conformant HTML/CSS/JS parser in .NET that could be used for scraping, testing, sanitizing, and rendering without a browser.

Результат

AngleSharp grew from a side‑project written on a plane to a widely adopted .NET foundation library with over 500 million installs, powering HTML sanitization, Blazor testing, email rendering, and many commercial applications.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install AngleSharp via NuGet.
• 2. Create an HtmlParser or BrowsingContext.
• 3. Parse markup or load documents from the network.
• 4. Query the DOM with standard selectors.
• 5. Extend functionality with satellite packages (Css, Js, Xml, Diffing).

Доказательства

AngleSharp is a .NET library that parses HTML, SVG, MathML, CSS, and (to a good extent) XML, and gives you back a fully-featured, spec-conformant DOM.

Источник

The core package alone sits at over 310 million downloads, with satellite packages bringing the total above 500 million installs.
