AngleSharp VS HtmlSanitizer

Instead, what I ended up doing is utilizing AngleSharp for transforming the existing (dynamic) websites into static files. I've stored them on disk and made them ready to be served statically.

AngleSharp

Read and understand the HTML DOM with something like this https://anglesharp.github.io/

Personally, if that script I wrote did need to be used on Core I probably would have compiled AngleSharp, loaded the HTML Parser DLL into the script, and used that.

Now, assuming you have to scrape, C# does have two decent scraping libraries: AngleSharp and Html Agility Pack. I personally prefer AngleSharp.

I would love a blog post or even a series of them about scraping local HTML files with either AngleSharp or HTMLAgilityPack.

If you want a cleaner and modern alternative to HtmlAgilityPack then I'd suggest https://github.com/AngleSharp/AngleSharp

Use anglesharp for parsing html

React seems to automatically handle HTML Encoding of variables to prevent XSS. With that said, should I take further steps to sanitize the inputs on the Api? Using something like the HtmlSanitizer - https://github.com/mganss/HtmlSanitizer?

i'm at a bit of a loose end. i recently installed Html Sanitizer to my old asp.net webforms "website" project, and while my build server builds the project successfully with msbuild, i get 500 errors saying there's binaries missing, and low and behold two dlls aren't getting copied to bin folder from the packages directory but it works perfectly fine when i do a build in visual studio (clean and rebuild is fine as well) and i have no idea why this is happening and need some help.
