## What it is
A Rust library for parsing HTML documents and querying them with CSS selectors, built on Servo's html5ever and selectors crates for browser-grade parsing. It supports parsing full documents and fragments, with optional serde support and deterministic iteration features.

## Use cases
- parse html in rust
- extract elements from html with css selectors
- scrape web page content
- parse html fragments
- query dom elements by selector
- build a web scraper in rust

## When to choose
- you need browser-grade HTML parsing in Rust
- you want to select elements using CSS selector syntax
- you need a well-maintained, widely downloaded scraping library for Rust

## When to avoid
- you need to fetch pages over HTTP (pair it with an HTTP client)
- you need JavaScript rendering or dynamic content
- you are parsing XML rather than HTML

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: parser, web-scraping, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, parsers, crawlers
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: html-parsing, css-selectors, html5ever, servo, dom
