sax-js is a streaming XML parser for Node.js that is built on top of the sax C library. It is designed to be fast, low-memory, and easy to use. It is commonly used for parsing large XML files, as it allows you to process the XML data incrementally, rather than loading the entire file into memory at once.

sax-js is a low-level html tree parser and does not provide html query capabilities (like CSS selectors) though it can be useful in HTML tree parsing and serialization.

cascadia is a library for Go that provides a CSS selector engine, allowing you to use CSS selectors to select elements from an HTML document.

It is built on top of the html package in the Go standard library, and provides a more efficient and powerful way to select elements from an HTML document.

Example Use


```javascript const fs = require("fs"); const sax = require("sax"); const xmlStream = fs.createReadStream("example.xml"); const saxParser = sax.createStream(true, {}); saxParser.on("opentag", function(node) { console.log(`<${node.name}>`); }); saxParser.on("closetag", function(nodeName) { console.log(`</${nodeName}>`); }); saxParser.on("text", function(text) { console.log(text); }); xmlStream.pipe(saxParser); ```
```go package main import ( "fmt" "github.com/andybalholm/cascadia" "golang.org/x/net/html" "strings" ) func main() { // Create an HTML string html := `

Hello, World!

Example
` // Parse the HTML string into a node tree doc, err := html.Parse(strings.NewReader(html)) if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error:", err) return } // Compile the CSS selector sel, err := cascadia.Compile("p") if err != nil { fmt.Println("Error:", err) return } // Use the Selector.Match method to select elements from the document matches := sel.Match(doc) if len(matches) > 0 { fmt.Println(matches[0].FirstChild.Data) // > Hello, World! } } ```
