cheerio is a popular JavaScript library that allows you to interact with and manipulate HTML and XML documents in a similar way to how you would with jQuery in a browser. It is a fast, flexible, and lean implementation of core jQuery designed specifically for the server.

One of the main benefits of using cheerio is that it allows you to use jQuery-like syntax to navigate and m anipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) of an HTML or XML document, making it easy to work with.

cheerio supports CSS selectors though not XPath.

soup is a Go library for parsing and querying HTML documents.

It provides a simple and intuitive interface for extracting information from HTML pages. It's inspired by popular Python web scraping library BeautifulSoup and shares similar use API implementing functions like Find and FindAll.

soup can also use go's built-in http client to download HTML content.

Note that unlike beautifulsoup, soup does not support CSS selectors or XPath.

Example Use

```javascript const cheerio = require('cheerio'); const $ = cheerio.load('My title

Hello World!

'); // use css selectors console.log($('title').text()); // My title console.log($('.name').text()); // Hello World! // select multiple elements const $ = cheerio.load('

item 1
item 2

'); $('li').each(function(i, elem) { console.log($(this).text()); }); // modify elements const $ = cheerio.load('

Hello World!

'); $('h1').text('Hello, Cheerio!'); console.log($.html()); ```

```go package main import ( "fmt" "log" "github.com/anaskhan96/soup" ) func main() { url := "https://www.bing.com/search?q=weather+Toronto" # soup has basic HTTP client though it's not recommended for scraping: resp, err := soup.Get(url) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } # create soup object from HTML doc := soup.HTMLParse(resp) # html elements can be found using Find or FindStrict methods: # in this case find

elements where "class" attribute matches some values: grid := doc.FindStrict("div", "class", "b_antiTopBleed b_antiSideBleed b_antiBottomBleed") # note: to find all elements FindAll() method can be used the same way # elements can be further searched for descendents: heading := grid.Find("div", "class", "wtr_titleCtrn").Find("div").Text() conditions := grid.Find("div", "class", "wtr_condition") primaryCondition := conditions.Find("div") secondaryCondition := primaryCondition.FindNextElementSibling() temp := primaryCondition.Find("div", "class", "wtr_condiTemp").Find("div").Text() others := primaryCondition.Find("div", "class", "wtr_condiAttribs").FindAll("div") caption := secondaryCondition.Find("div").Text() fmt.Println("City Name : " + heading) fmt.Println("Temperature : " + temp + "˚C") for _, i := range others { fmt.Println(i.Text()) } fmt.Println(caption) } ```
