Looking for a robust HTML Tree component

I'm trying to parse and process HTML documents (i.e. web pages) in Delphi, but I need to do so in a tree-oriented manner rather than doing simple string/tag parsing.

I have been looking for a Delphi tool or component that will parse HTML files into trees -- much like the Perl community's HTML::TreeBuilder class -- but I cannot find anything even remotely close.

Does anyone know of any such thing? Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Check out the the FAQ in my footer, it has links to websites filled to the rim with components.

Everyone has a right to my opinion.

Thanks to you both. I'm currently looking into rolling my own, using SAX.

I'm also currently examining what's provided XSLT and in Apache's Cocoon framework to actually manipulate and transform objects in the HTML tree to a format I can use. Too bad Delphi has no integrated support for Cocoon and such tools (that would have been my programming Nirvana).

(BTW, does it?)

I'll keep you posted on this topic, if and when I can...
