Naming conflict with other Ksoup library

[mgroth0]

I just realized that there are two Ksoup libraries and at first glance, they both do the same thing:

https://github.com/fleeksoft/ksoup
https://github.com/MohamedRejeb/Ksoup

Has any thought gone into how to resolve this? I might think to suggest that since the other has slightly more stars and seems to have begun slightly before this one, that this library ought to change its name to reduce confusion in the community. However, I don't know anything about the history of these libraries so please feel free to share if there have already been discussions on this issue.

Upon looking into it more, it seems this library matches the Jsoup API much more closely so I can see why perhaps this one should not change its name (perhaps even the other should?).

@mgroth0 Hi, I know it’s confusing, but MohamedRejeb/Ksoup is totally different from Jsoup while fleeksoft/ksoup is a perfect port of Jsoup with all APIs.
If we compare Both fleeksoft/ksoup has more features, support all the CSS selectors which are supported by Jsoup, support more charsets and is more stable tested with 1K+ unit tests, including all the unit tests from Jsoup.

Fleeksoft/Ksoup is expected to surpass MohamedRejeb/Ksoup in stars sooner or later.

Currently, the only advantage MohamedRejeb/Ksoup has is that it doesn’t depend on any external dependencies, while fleeksoft/ksoup relies on the IO library. However, I’m already working on overcoming this you can check the progress in #67.

Well, it’s up to the community to decide.

I appreciate the answer @itboy87 . I can tell that things are on track towards an eventual solution :)
