What is GoQuery?
PuerkitoBio/goquery is a Go library that brings a jQuery-like syntax and feature set to the Go programming language, enabling developers to parse, traverse, and manipulate HTML documents. It is built on Go's net/html package and the cascadia CSS selector library, providing a familiar chainable interface for web scraping and HTML processing tasks. The library intentionally mirrors jQuery's API to leverage its widespread familiarity, prioritizing developer comfort and consistency.
Go developers who need to perform web scraping, HTML parsing, or DOM manipulation tasks, particularly those with prior experience using jQuery in JavaScript. It is also suitable for developers building data extraction tools, web crawlers, or applications that process HTML content in Go.
Developers choose goquery because it offers a jQuery-like API that is intuitive and familiar, reducing the learning curve for those already comfortable with jQuery. Its integration with Go's net/html and cascadia provides robust HTML parsing and CSS selector support, making it a reliable and efficient choice for HTML manipulation in Go compared to lower-level alternatives.
