What are some alternatives?
When comparing ExCSS and AngleSharp you can also consider the following projects:
HtmlAgilityPack - Html Agility Pack (HAP) is a free and open-source HTML parser written in C# to read/write DOM and supports plain XPATH or XSLT. It is a .NET code library that allows you to parse "out of the web" HTML files.
