📖 Documentation 📖
Cheerio is a fast, flexible, and lean implementation of core jQuery designed specifically for the server. It uses a very similar syntax to jQuery, allowing for manipulation of the elements in the parsed document tree. Cheerio is generally faster than parse5 for querying documents but does not strictly adhere to the HTML5 specification.
jsdom is a pure-JavaScript implementation of many web standards, notably the WHATWG DOM and HTML Standards, for use with Node.js. It creates a DOM environment similar to that provided by web browsers, including a window object. jsdom is more feature-rich than parse5, providing a complete emulation of a web browser's environment, but it is also heavier and slower for simple parsing tasks.
htmlparser2 is a forgiving HTML and XML parser. It is fast and has a simple API, but unlike parse5, it does not strictly adhere to the HTML5 parsing specification. It is suitable for parsing non-standard or malformed HTML.
