A tool like jq, but for HTML  ↦

htmlq uses CSS selectors to extract bits of content from HTML files. Mozilla’s MDN has a good reference for CSS selector syntax.

This looks super handy. Examples!

// Find part of a page by ID
curl --silent https://www.rust-lang.org/ | htmlq '#get-help'

// Find all links in a page
curl --silent https://www.rust-lang.org/ | htmlq --attribute href a

// Get the text content of a post
curl --silent https://nixos.org/nixos/about.html | htmlq  --text .main
