I've been looking for a nice and fast HTML parser.<br>
I've found Zulq Alam's Soup<br>
(<a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/@vHckXt8_6gVtXFxy/XMrjDbIs" target="_blank">http://www.squeaksource.com/@vHckXt8_6gVtXFxy/XMrjDbIs</a>) it looks nice<br>
but it's way too slow for me (takes 5 sec to parse the page, my<br>
current lisp parser takes about 1 sec for that.)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Have you tried Cog as Laurent suggests? It may make the difference you need. In any case I'd be interested in teh speed comparison.</div>

I found another one, Todd Blanchard's HTML and CSS parser<br>
(<a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/@iMgHmTKVxU00wEdz/A0jkqk71" target="_blank">http://www.squeaksource.com/@iMgHmTKVxU00wEdz/A0jkqk71</a>) but I<br>
couldn't load it into Pharo 1.1 or Squeak 4.1.<br>
It complains about some syntax error and leaves the progress bar which<br>
I can't kill...<br>
I wonder if anyone (Todd?) can take a look at the parser and figure<br>
out how to fix it?<br>
<br>
What other options I have for an HTML parser?<br>
Looking at Pharo speed I wonder if there is any way to optimize it? Is<br>
JIT or some other speed optimization in plans for Pharo/Squeak?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
