I did an evaluation of HTML parsers back in February. Most of the options are XML parsers, and a lot of them are very old. Other than Nethtml, I came up with two alternatives to consider:

I didn't end up spending much time on either. It quickly became clear that Nethtml was what I needed. It handles content that isn't strictly valid, which was important to me, and has good performance.

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks. I eventually discovered ocamlnet, but I'm hoping there's maybe more than 1 option?

Nethtml in ocamlnet partly does what you need (you can easily write
recursive functions to extract the desired data from the HTML tree).
