Re: [whatwg] Html5 Parser Tree Construction Stage

You're welcome to look at Blink's implementation of tree construction.
 That might be a good way of seeing what data structure might be
useful.  The work is split into two major objects:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/master/Source/core/html/parser/HTMLTreeBuilder.h
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/master/Source/core/html/parser/HTMLConstructionSite.h

The HTMLTreeBuilder dispatches the token and HTMLConstructionSite does
the actual tree construction.

I am currently in the tree construction stage and it seems to be so complex to have a general view of what is happening by reading the specs or at least know what things are needed ( like node types element types and the variables of each..) Is there any place where these things are listed or maybe an explanation of the tree construction stage that explains what is happening during in a general view?
