Can I parse HTML CSS using this library?

Hi @Zoha131! swift-parsing is a general-purpose parsing library. It would let you build your own HTML and CSS parsers from scratch, but does not ship with HTML or CSS parsers.

I'm going to convert this to a discussion since we use issues to track bugs with the library. Thanks!

I've started implementing an XML Parser, and it's certainly possible, but is a lot of work. HTML and CSS would probably be even more, given the variety of elements available.

Hey @RemiBardon, it's still incomplete currently, unfortunately. I've been working on a couple of other projects of late. It's kinda parsing, but not into a very ergonomic or useful structure currently - it's taking the spec very literally. I would still like to make some improvements on it.

I also want to improve the error reporting before I make it public. I'd be ok letting you take a look though, if you like.

It's not pressing, I still have a ton of other things to do before needing an XML parser-printer, but I'll keep an eye on your public implementation 👀

I'll try to remember to post it here when I do. :)

@RemiBardon I have an implementation of an XML parser over at https://github.com/JaapWijnen/swift-xml-parser/
Would love to hear feedback if you end up using it!

Oh, cool 👍🏻

I will probably not have a look at it for at least 3 months, as I'm working on another project, but I'll try to remember your library 😉
