AngleSharp VS wasp

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

Assuming this is a Windows laptop: PowerShell has an application automation addon.

Here is a PS Module that was recommended on /r/PowerShell if you just want the scripted solution.

I feel like I'm missing another one or two but you get the idea. Due to the nature of this environment I can't consider the use of WASP which sounds like it could potentially work.

I've looked at some other things --- WASP seemed promising: https://github.com/mavaddat/wasp --- but when I installed the version from GitHub it didn't seem to have the commands I needed.

Have you seen the wasp powershell module? https://github.com/mavaddat/wasp

For everything else, there's WASP.
