Aug 2, 2025, 5:50 PMSo I'm looking at options for doing some basic HTML parsing in #rust
I found html5ever made by the Servo project, but can't figure out how to use it. I check their docs. Aha, you need an implementation of TreeSink which is not provided by the crate. Their example docs use markup5ever_rcdom.
I go to read that crate's docs, and it's a stern warning not to use it – it's only designed for testing.
I settle on some other library for parsing.
… later, I learn that under the hood, it's rcdom. 🤦♂️
