Typing stubs for html5lib
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you use html5lib and run static type checking. It has no runtime cost, low install friction, and is actively maintained as part of typeshed. If you don't use a type checker or don't use html5lib, it provides no value. Apache-2.0 licensing poses no restrictions.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.10 or later; only provides type information, not runtime functionality—html5lib itself must be installed separately.
- Low install friction; a pure-Python wheel with a single lightweight runtime dependency (types-webencodings).
- Maintained actively as part of the typeshed project with recent commits.

What it is and what it does
types-html5lib is a type stub package that bridges the gap between the html5lib HTML parser and static type checkers. It provides type annotations for html5lib's public API, allowing mypy, pyright, and other type checkers to validate code that uses html5lib without runtime overhead. The stubs are maintained as part of the typeshed project and are tested against current versions of major type checkers.
When installed alongside html5lib, this package enables developers to catch type-related bugs during development rather than at runtime. It targets html5lib version 1.1.x and requires Python 3.10 or later. The package has a single runtime dependency (types-webencodings) and is distributed as a pure wheel, making installation straightforward.
Use it for
- Enable mypy or pyright to type-check code that parses HTML with html5lib in a CI/CD pipeline.
- Develop HTML parsing applications with IDE autocomplete and type hints for html5lib methods and classes.
- Validate type safety in projects that combine html5lib with other typed libraries in a large codebase.
- Ensure compatibility between html5lib usage and strict type-checking configurations.
