HTML parsers are software for automated Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) parsing. They have two main purposes:
- HTML traversal: offer an interface for programmers to easily access and modify the "HTML string code". Canonical example: DOM parsers.
- HTML clean: to fix invalid HTML and to improve the layout and indent style of the resulting markup. Canonical example: HTML Tidy.
