About the Book
The HTML parser is a piece of software that processes HTML markup and produces an in-memory tree representation (known as the DOM).
The HTML parser has many strange behaviors. This book will highlight the ins and outs of the HTML parser, and contains almost-impossible quizzes.
HTML is not only used by basically all of the web, but it is also part of many modern applications. The HTML parser is part of the foundation of the web platform.
