goquery is a Go library that provides a jQuery-like syntax for parsing, traversing, and manipulating HTML documents, built on Go's net/html package and the cascadia CSS selector library. It offers a chainable API familiar to jQuery users, though it omits stateful DOM manipulation functions and requires UTF-8 encoded input.

Use cases

• scrape data from html pages in go
• parse html documents with css selectors
• extract links and text from web pages
• traverse and filter dom elements like jquery
• build a web crawler or scraper in go

When to choose

• you want jQuery-style selector and traversal syntax in Go
• you need to parse well-formed or real-world HTML into a queryable structure
• you are building scrapers or crawlers in Go

When to avoid

• you need to modify rendered page state like styles or layout (css(), height())
• your source HTML is not UTF-8 and you cannot transcode it
• you need a full DOM manipulation or browser automation tool
