Comparison with masterminds/html5
This library and masterminds/html5 serve similar purposes. Generally, we are more accurate, but they are much faster. The following table summarizes the main functional differences.
Masterminds | MensBeam | |
---|---|---|
Minimum PHP version | 5.3 | 7.1 |
Extensions required | dom, ctype, mbstring or iconv | dom |
Supported encodings | System-dependent | Per specification |
Encoding detection | None | Byte order mark, HTTP header, pre-scan |
Fallback encoding | UTF-8, configurable | Windows-1252, configurable |
Handling of invalid characters | Characters are dropped | Per specification |
Handling of invalid XML element names | Name is changed to "invalid" | Per specification |
Handling of invalid XML attribute names | Attribute is dropped | Per specification |
Handling of misnested tags | Parent end tags always close children | Per specification |
Handling of data between table cells | Left as-is | Per specification |
Handling of omitted start tags | Elements are not inserted | Per specification |
Handling of processing instructions | Processing instructions are retained | Per specification |
Namespace for HTML elements | Per specification, configurable | Null |
Time needed to parse single-page HTML specification | 2.8 seconds† | 7.0 seconds†† |
Peak memory needed for same | 38 MB | 13.9 MB |
† 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
