+## HTML Reader Writer (H-RW)
+
+The goal is to be able to load html into swift from a file, manipulate it, then spit out html while retaining the benefits of a type safe language which serves as an alternative to templating.
+
+#### Thoughts
+
+I suppose I wanted to be able to use plain html as is. In hindsight, it was too much effort for the payoff. This is mostly so I can build multipage websites with swift without the use of JS as a silly experiement.
+
+There is also a HTML library called Plot that also lets you manipulate html, but it doesn't let you load it in from a file and treats HTML generations similarly to SwiftUI.
+
+Perhaps this project can be repurposed as an LSP for html, but that's not much of an interest to me. It could also possibly be used to implement a renderer or translate html into a different UI format. However, I did not really take security into consideration when building this. 
+
+There is also an HTML parser in LadyBird thats partially written in Swift. It seems to call into c++ for a handful of things, so it doesn't seem to be reusable without that.
