Cheerio

Overview

Cheerio is a fast, lightweight HTML/XML parser for Node.js that implements a jQuery-like API. Unlike Puppeteer, it does not run a browser — it parses raw HTML strings, making it 100x faster and ideal for scraping server-rendered pages, parsing HTML files, and transforming HTML content. Pair it with fetch or axios for web scraping, or use it standalone for HTML processing.

Instructions
