Cheerio is a fast, flexible, and elegant library for parsing and manipulating HTML and XML in JavaScript. It provides a jQuery‑like API for traversing and modifying the DOM without a browser environment.
Use cases
- Extract data from static HTML pages for web scraping.
- Transform or clean up HTML markup in server‑side scripts.
- Parse XML feeds and convert them to JSON objects.
- Manipulate DOM elements in Node.js before rendering.
- Build lightweight HTML preprocessors for static site generators.
When to choose
- You need fast HTML/XML parsing without the overhead of a full browser.
- Your project runs in Node.js or a browser environment and requires a jQuery‑style API.
- You are working with static markup and do not need JavaScript execution.
When to avoid
- The target pages rely on client‑side JavaScript to render content.
- You need full browser rendering, CSS processing, or network resource loading.
- You require a headless browser for complex interactions or visual testing.
