Generally, we are more accurate, but they are much faster. The following table summarizes the main functional differences. | | DOMDocument | Masterminds | MensBeam | |-----------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | Minimum PHP version | 5.0 | 5.3 | 7.1 | | Extensions required | dom | dom, ctype, mbstring or iconv | dom | | Target HTML version | HTML 4.01 | HTML 5.0 | WHATWG Living Standard | | Supported encodings | System-dependent | System-dependent | [Per specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#character-encodings) | | Encoding detection | BOM, http-equiv | None | [Per specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#determining-the-character-encoding) (Steps 1-5 & 9) | | Fallback encoding | ISO 8859-1 | UTF-8, configurable | Windows-1252, configurable | | Handling of invalid characters | Bytes are passed through | Characters are dropped | [Per specification](https://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-encoding-process) | | Handling of invalid XML element names | Variable | Name is changed to "invalid" | [Per specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#coercing-an-html-dom-into-an-infoset) | | Handling of invalid XML attribute names | Variable | Attribute is dropped | [Per specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#coercing-an-html-dom-into-an-infoset) | | Handling of misnested tags | Parent end tags always close children | Parent end tags always close children | [Per specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#an-introduction-to-error-handling-and-strange-cases-in-the-parser) | | Handling of data between table cells | Left as-is | Left as-is | [Per specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#an-introduction-to-error-handling-and-strange-cases-in-the-parser) | | Handling of omitted start tags | Elements are not inserted | Elements are not inserted | Per specification | | Handling of processing instructions | Processing instructions are retained | Processing instructions are retained | Per specification | | Handling of bogus XLink namespace\* | Foreign content not supported | XLink attributes are lost if preceded by bogus namespace | Bogus namespace is ignored | | Namespace for HTML elements | Null | Per specification, configurable | Null | | Time needed to parse single-page HTML specification | 0.5 seconds | 2.7 seconds† | 6.0 seconds‡ | | Peak memory needed for same | 11.6 MB | 38 MB | 13.9 MB | \* For example: ``. It is unclear what correct behaviour is, but we believe our behaviour to be more consistent with the intent of the specification. † With HTML namespace disabled. With HTML namespace enabled it does not finish in a reasonable time due to a PHP bug. ‡ With parse errors suppressed. Reporting parse errors adds approximately 10% overhead.
