Ever wanted to know the internals of an evergreen web browser? How does HTML5 error correction work and why is it the cure to different looking webpages? But most importantly: How can we deal with webpages most efficiently in .NET? The AngleSharp project gives answers to all of these questions. It is – at its core – a headless browser engine, which has a modular architecture. If we only want to parse HTML then we get a state of the art HTML5 parser. In this session we cover the project and dive into some of the lesser known, but very important, parts of HTML5.
