## What it is
A PHP library adapting Simple HTML DOM Parser for Composer and PSR-0, allowing easy HTML parsing and manipulation. It supports invalid HTML and jQuery-like selector-based element finding.

## Use cases
- parse html from a string or file in php
- extract content from web pages
- scrape data from websites
- find elements with css selectors like jquery
- handle malformed html documents

## When to choose
- you need a simple, dependency-light HTML parser in PHP
- you want jQuery-style selectors for DOM traversal
- you must parse invalid or messy HTML

## When to avoid
- you need high performance or strict standards compliance - use DOMDocument or a modern parser
- you need active development or guaranteed maintenance
- you are not using PHP

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: parser, web-scraping
- domain: parsers, web-development, crawlers
- platform: php
- tags: html-dom, css-selectors, composer, psr-0, screen-scraping
