# html-pe `html-pe` is for those who expect accuracy from their HTML parser, but are unwilling to compromise on performance. This parser handles a variety of edge cases as prescribed by the HTML5 standard and remains performant thanks to optimizations such as avoiding regular expressions. Chunked parsing is supported, and an efficient HTML entity encoder/decoder is included. ## Installation `npm install html-pe` ## Usage ```javascript var html = require('html-pe'); var parser = new html.Parser(); // parse chunks parser.write('

foo'); parser.write('
