Somewhat off-topic: Any equivalent to Python's "Beautiful Soup" for C++

Beautiful Soup, for anyone who doesn't know, is a highly-tolerant HTML parser that is great for screen-scraping non-compliant (as well as compliant) HTML ( http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ ). Although I've often resorted to using PyObjC on OS X to allow me to leverage Python's rich high-level modules from ObjC and C++, there are times when I don't want to use Python past the prototyping stage because of performance issues. But powerful modules like Beautiful Soup are then sorely missed. Anyone know of a similar library for C++? Daniel Lord
