(Apache Nutch is a Java-based web crawler which supports e.g. CommonCrawl (which backs various foundational LLMs)) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Nutch#Search_engines_bu... . But extruct extracts more types of metadata and data than Nutch AFAIU: https://github.com/scrapinghub/extruct )

although I don't follow the need to have what appears to be two completely separate HTML parsing C libraries as dependencies; seeing this in the readme for Modest gives me the shivers because lxml has _seen some shit_

> Modest is a fast HTML renderer implemented as a pure C99 library with no outside dependencies.

although its other dep seems much more cognizant about the HTML5 standard, for whatever that's worth: https://github.com/lexbor/lexbor#lexbor

Heh, oh, new to the Internet, are you? :-D

I noticed via the changelog for Django 4.2.2 that bleach is deprecated (Django removed mention of it from their docs).

I don't know a golang library for it but https://github.com/mozilla/bleach is a python lib that escapes all the nasty javascript inputs.

bleach it!

This is an excellent point; I should have addressed safety in my article. I'll point out that in my use case, I'm using `safe` on data I create and not any user-generated data.

You should never use `safe` on user data unless you use something like bleach (https://github.com/mozilla/bleach) to sanitize the data. Even then, you should use caution.

Use bleach to sanitize it https://bleach.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
