Description

Is there a possibility that we have LibXML2 bindings for html5ever similar to how gumbo has it?
https://github.com/sevenval/gumbo-libxml

I have a program that is written on top of LibXML2, however, I need to parse HTML5 with it. I was wondering if I can use html5ever for this purpose without changing my whole library.

Research direction

Review the requested gumbo-libxml project and the html5ever and LibXML2 interfaces to determine how a compatible binding could work. Done means an integration that lets existing LibXML2-based programs parse HTML5 through html5ever without changing their library interface.
