## What it is
pyquery is a Python library that provides a jQuery-like API for querying and manipulating XML and HTML documents, built on top of lxml for fast parsing. It lets you load documents from strings, files, or URLs and select elements using CSS selectors and jQuery pseudo-classes.

## Use cases
- scrape data from html pages using css selectors
- parse and manipulate xml documents in python
- extract elements from html like jquery does
- rewrite or modify html content programmatically
- query dom elements with pseudo-classes like :first and :checked

## When to choose
- you know jQuery and want the same selector API in Python
- you need fast HTML/XML parsing via lxml
- you're scraping or transforming HTML documents

## When to avoid
- you need to execute JavaScript or interact with dynamic pages (use a browser automation tool)
- you prefer BeautifulSoup's API
- you need to generate JavaScript code

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: parser, web-scraping
- domain: web-development, crawlers, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: jquery, lxml, html-parsing, css-selectors, xml
