I forgot one(two) more html parser:
You have Anders Kristensens HEX - http://www-
uk.hpl.hp.com/people/sth/java/hex.html. It is quite old. It uses sax(1),
to build a dom tree. I updated it to sax2 and xerces dom, but then
started on my own project.
The way that hex handles the wellformnes, is when building the dom tree.
I moved that into a XMLFilter that allows you to do wellformnes on the
sax stream. Anders is not a HP anymore, he works for another company, so
the mail adress wont work!.
IBM has a "system" ANDES, witch is(was - i don't know) used to parse
html pages (a lot of other interesting things), from the papers I read
it sounded just like the tool I wanted, but I could not find any
information on IBM sites. Anyone has any info about ANDES?
