Stefano, We've considered CyberNeko HTML parser. We abandoned it because Swing HTML implementation doesn't need DOM. (Other parsers mostly do the same.)
The API for HTML parser is specified by JavaDoc, and we must call these methods while building up the content of HTMLDocument. Of course, we can iterate DOM and call the required functions to build HTML structure. On the other hand, the DOM won't be used any more. Another point is loading an HTML document could be performed asynchronously. (This hasn't been implemented yet, however.) So I think adapting an existing parser so that HTMLDocument is built on-the-fly (and incrementally) without generating DOM tree might not be the best alternative. And parser should be DTD-based, as specified by JavaDoc. Regards, Alexey. -- Alexey A.
