## What it is
soup is a small Go library for web scraping with an API modeled after Python's BeautifulSoup. It fetches HTML over HTTP and builds a DOM that can be queried and traversed with Find/FindAll, sibling navigation, and text extraction.

## Use cases
- scrape html pages in go
- parse html like beautifulsoup in golang
- extract text and attributes from web pages
- find elements by tag and attributes in go
- crawl a website and pull data from html

## When to choose
- you want a BeautifulSoup-like scraping API in Go
- you need simple HTML fetching plus DOM querying in one small package
- you prefer a lightweight scraper over full browser automation

## When to avoid
- you need to scrape JavaScript-rendered pages
- you need CSS selectors or XPath instead of tag/attribute matching
- you need a production-grade parser with full HTML5 spec compliance

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: web-scraping, parser, http-client
- domain: web-development, crawlers, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: beautifulsoup, html-parsing, dom-traversal, scraping
