## What it is
A Go library providing a higher-level interface over golang.org/x/net/html for web scraping. It offers generic tree traversal helpers like Find/FindAll plus convenience functions such as Attr and Text.

## Use cases
- scrape articles from a webpage in go
- extract page title from html
- find all links matching a css class
- parse html and pull text content
- build a simple web crawler in go

## When to choose
- you are writing a Go scraper and want simple DOM traversal helpers over net/html
- you need lightweight matching by tag, attribute, or custom predicates

## When to avoid
- you need JavaScript-rendered content or a full browser
- you want an actively maintained library with recent updates
- you need CSS selector support out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-scraping, parser
- domain: crawlers, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform
- tags: html-parsing, dom-traversal, go-library
