About
Parsel is a BSD-licensed Python library to extract and remove data from HTML and XML using XPath and CSS selectors, optionally combined with regular expressions. Create a selector object for the HTML or XML text that you want to parse. Then use CSS or XPath expressions to select elements. CSS is a language for applying styles to HTML documents. It defines selectors to associate those styles with specific HTML elements. XPath is a language for selecting nodes in XML documents, which can also be used with HTML. You can use either CSS or XPath. CSS is usually more readable, but some things can only be done with XPath. Being built atop lxml, parsel selectors support some EXSLT extensions and come with pre-registered namespaces to use in XPath expressions. Parsel selectors allow you to chain selectors, so most of the time you can just select by class using CSS and then switch to XPath when needed.

About
mPDF is a PHP library that generates PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. It is based on FPDF and HTML2FPDF with a number of enhancements. It is slower than the original scripts e.g. HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles, etc., and has been much enhanced. mPDF as a whole is quite a dated software. Nowadays, better alternatives are available, albeit not written in PHP. Use mPDF if you cannot use a non-PHP approach to generate PDF files or if you want to leverage some of the benefits of mPDF over the browser approach, color handling, pre-print, barcodes support, headers and footers, page numbering, TOCs, etc. But beware that an HTML/CSS template tailored for mPDF might be necessary. If you are looking for state-of-the-art CSS support, mirroring existing HTML pages to PDF, use headless Chrome. mPDF will still be updated to enhance some internal capabilities and to support newer versions of PHP.
