## What it is
Enlive is a selector-based (CSS-like) templating and HTML transformation library for Clojure. It lets developers select nodes in HTML documents using CSS-style selectors and apply transformations, making it useful for both server-side templating and HTML scraping/manipulation.

## Use cases
- render server-side HTML templates in Clojure web apps
- transform HTML documents using CSS-style selectors
- scrape and extract data from HTML pages
- replace variables in HTML text and attributes
- parse malformed HTML with pluggable parsers like TagSoup or Jsoup

## When to choose
- you want logic-less templates where HTML is the source of truth
- you need to manipulate or scrape existing HTML with CSS selectors
- you're building a Clojure web app and prefer selector-based transformation over string interpolation templating

## When to avoid
- you want a modern, actively maintained templating library
- you prefer Hiccup-style code-as-HTML templating
- your project needs guaranteed long-term support, since the project has no license file and infrequent releases

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: templating, parser, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting
- tags: css-selectors, html-transformation, clojure, scraping
