Htmlq
Like jq, but for HTML.
Overview
htmlq is a powerful and streamlined command-line tool designed to enhance your experience when working with HTML documents. Similar to jq, which is used for JSON, htmlq leverages CSS selectors to efficiently extract specific segments of content from HTML files. Whether you are a developer, content scraper, or simply someone interacting with web data, this utility simplifies the process of navigating and manipulating HTML structures.
The installation is convenient, with support for various package managers such as Cargo, FreeBSD pkg, Homebrew, and Scoop. Once set up, htmlq opens up a world of possibilities for extracting data, cleaning up HTML, and even formatting it for better readability.
