NAME

       HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML - HTML::TreeBuilder and XPath compatible interface with libxml

SYNOPSIS

           use HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML;

           my $tree = HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML->new;
           $tree->parse($html);
           $tree->eof;

           # $tree and $node compatible to HTML::Element
           my @nodes = $tree->findvalue($xpath);
           for my $node (@nodes) {
               print $node->tag;
               my %attr = $node->all_external_attr;
           }

           HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML->replace_original(); # replace HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath->new

DESCRIPTION

       HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath is libxml based compatible interface to HTML::TreeBuilder, which
       could be slow for a large document.

       HTML::TreeBuilder::LibXML is drop-in-replacement for HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath.

       This module doesn't implement all of HTML::TreeBuilder and HTML::Element APIs, but enough
       methods are defined so modules like Web::Scraper work.
