In order to improve processing of HTML data (to use HTML data as a data-source) it would be valuable to convert HTML data to XML.
There's a few transformations that would be needed:
- special characters like &
- dealing with HTML's imprecision - for example - "img src" tags do not require an explicit close marker.
Example: <img src="/html/assets/alteryx_company_logo.svg?F0F845F3873A74E16B876DC33606AFEA" class="ryx-company-logo"> rather than
<img src="/html/assets/alteryx_company_logo.svg?F0F845F3873A74E16B876DC33606AFEA" class="ryx-company-logo" />
- dealing with multiple class tags on a single div
- footer tags which are balanced off against a </div> tag.
This would enable more efficient processing of HTML data using modern XML capabilities
