Subject: [Boost-users] Somewhat off-topic: Any equivalent to
Python's"Beautiful Soup" for C++

Beautiful Soup, for anyone who doesn't know, is a highly-tolerant HTML
parser that is great for screen-scraping non-compliant (as well as
compliant) HTML ( http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ ).   

Although I've often resorted to using PyObjC on OS X to allow me to leverage
Python's rich high-level modules from ObjC and C++, there are times when I
don't want to use Python past the prototyping stage because of performance
issues. But powerful modules like Beautiful Soup are then sorely missed.
Anyone know of a similar library for C++?
