## What it is
phpQuery is a server-side, chainable, CSS3-selector-driven DOM API for PHP5 modeled on the jQuery JavaScript library. It also ships a command-line interface for querying HTML documents.

## Use cases
- scrape and parse HTML pages in PHP
- manipulate DOM documents with jQuery-style selectors
- extract content from HTML using CSS3 selectors
- query HTML files from the command line
- port jQuery-style DOM code to server-side PHP

## When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy PHP5 codebase already using phpQuery
- you want a familiar jQuery-like API for DOM manipulation in PHP

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new PHP project - the library is unmaintained since ~2009 with no license file
- you need modern PHP 7/8 compatibility or security updates
- you only need simple HTML parsing - consider maintained alternatives like Symfony DomCrawler or native DOMDocument

- function: parser, web-scraping, cli
- domain: web-development, parsers, developer-tools
