On: Google Open-Sources Gumbo: C Library for Parsing H...

Node.js bindings would be awesome, especially for writing a headless website parser.

I just forked Gumbo and gave it a shot, but my limited experience of v8 didn't get me very far. I was able to create and build a basic plugin, but returning the scope with a Gumbo object was beyond my limited capabilities.

I think as a little side project I may continue to work on this.

Nice idea, give the repo an I'll give it a push =)

Currently it's just a straight fork - https://github.com/jbrooksuk/gumbo-parser

I'm giving it another crack now.

You can see my first attempt at https://github.com/jbrooksuk/gumbo-parser/commit/d64f78b125f... - unfortunately it's not quite there. I can't figure out how to send back the struct created by Gumbo.
