iOS How should I parse HTML5?

[ArtOfWarfare]

So I'm testing my app which needs to be able to parse websites. I set up a unit test for parsing a copy of MacRumors homepage and threw an NSXMLParser at it.

It stopped at line 49, column 8, complaining about how a meta tag hadn't been closed but the head tag outside of it was now being closed.

After a bit of investigating, I discovered that in html5, meta tags need not have a close to them.

So... I need suggestions. Is there a way I can make NSXMLParser handle this? Is there another parser for iOS which will handle this or should I just try rolling my own?

You might try looking at an Objective-C wrapper for Gumbo, such as ObjectiveGumbo

Thanks for sharing - I'll look into that.
