c,c++ HTML Parser Library

Is there a HTML parsing library of C or c++, which supports getting the elements you need from the parsed content, just like the JavaScript methods , getElementByID() and getElementByName() . If not, what does it need to do to achieve this purpose? In my view, it is not a good way to iterate the parsed tree, especially the deeper elements. Who can give some hints, thank you. (PS. My English is too bad.)
