HTML Parsing in Haskell
Raw
html-parsing.md

Actively Maintained

tagsoup

Based on lazy Strings.

Does its own parsing and has its own custom XML data type.

html-conduit

A wrapper around tagstream-conduit by @yihuang.

tagstream-conduit is based on plain conduit.

Somewhat Maintained

HandsomeSoup

Not an option for real-world HTML parsing since it ignores malformed HTML (according to here).

Based on HXT.

The README mentions it doesn't work on GHC 7.6 yet

taggy

Works on GHC 7.6 at least, but last update a year ago: https://github.com/alpmestan/taggy

Not Actively Maintained

Holumbus-Searchengine

Does a lot of other stuff besides parsing.

Uses HXT, so probably only works with properly formatted XML.

shpider

Based on tagsoup-parsec, which isn't maintained either: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/tagsoup-parsec
