What is html5ever?
html5ever is a high-performance HTML5 parser written in Rust, originally developed for the Servo browser project. It parses and serializes HTML according to WHATWG specifications while providing the hooks needed for browser-grade functionality like document.write. The parser aims to combine C-level performance with Rust's memory safety to avoid common security vulnerabilities.
Developers building web browsers, crawlers, or tools requiring robust HTML parsing, particularly those working in Rust ecosystems or needing standards-compliant, high-performance parsing.
It offers a unique combination of standards compliance, browser-grade features, and the safety/performance benefits of Rust, making it ideal for projects where security and speed are critical without sacrificing web compatibility.
