HtmlAgilityPack - Is it a vetted library and supported by UiPath officially?

Is it a vetted library and supported by UiPath officially?
Is it part of the official UiPath install package?

My Security Ops Team is requesting this information as part of security testing and validations.

Hi @sverma,

Welcome to UiPath Community

No, HtmlAgilityPack is not a vetted library and is not supported by UiPath officially. It is not part of the official UiPath install package.

Thanks,

Hi @sverma

as per my understanding is not part of the official UiPath packages, it is a custom package added, also it has an MIT License so it means that is not part from UiPath, either isn’t supported by UiPath, creators are their supporters it means ZZZ Projects

Hi @sverma

Would you mind sharing the use cases that this third-party package would help you resolve?

We’re always open to implementing improvements to our products based on user feedback.

I know this is an old thread @loginerror , but I came to use the library for this usecase:

From a database query
one of the returned fields has server-side rendered HTML
where I want to strip out the innertext

In Python I would use BeautifulSoup (because no, stripping HTML should never be done with Regex, as much as I love regular expressions)

A quick search brought HTMLAgilityPack, and MIT licence is great.
I use it with InvokeCode.
Something is strange though with the namespace and/or import, so I came to the forum to see what others are writing.

With server-side HTML generation becoming a trend (again) I see myself more frequently in the need of a “BeautifulSoup” equivalent:
Not all HTML comes from a UI Automation.
