 The **Htmlunit-NekoHtml** Parser is a HTML scanner and tag balancer that enables application programmers to parse HTML documents
 and access the information using standard XML interfaces.  
 The parser can scan HTML files and "fix up" many common mistakes that human (and computer) authors make in writing HTML documents.  
 NekoHTML adds missing parent elements; automatically closes elements with optional end tags; and can handle mismatched inline element tags.
 
-The **Htmlunit-NekoHtml** Parser has no external dependencies at all, requires Java 8 and works also on Android.  
-The **Htmlunit-NekoHtml** Parser is used by Htmlunit.
