Crystal-HTML5 shard is a Pure Crystal implementation of an HTML5-compliant Tokenizer and Parser.
The relevant specifications include:
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#tokenization
Shard also provides CSS Selector support by implementing W3 Selectors Level 3 specification
Tokenization is done by creating a Tokenizer for an IO. It is the caller
responsibility to ensure that provided IO provides UTF-8 encoded HTML.
The tokenization algorithm implemented by this shard is not a line-by-line
transliteration of the relatively verbose state-machine in the WHATWG
specification. A more direct approach is used instead, where the program
counter implies the state, such as whether it is tokenizing a tag or a text
node. Specification compliance is verified by checking expected and actual
outputs over a test suite rather than aiming for algorithmic fidelity.
Parsing is done by calling HTML5.parse with either a String containing HTML
or an IO instance. HTML5.parse returns a document root as HTML5::Node instance.
Parsing a fragment is done by calling HTML5.parse_fragment with either a String containing fragment of HTML5
or an IO instance. If the fragment is the InnerHTML for an existing element, pass that element in context.
HTML5.parse_fragment returns a list of HTML5::Node that were found.

<p>London is the capital city of England. It is the most populous city in the United Kingdom, with a metropolitan area of over 13 million inhabitants.</p>
<p>Standing on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium.</p>
