A library to extract useful data from HTML documents, suitable for web scraping.
Note: All the API is currently unstable and will change as I use this library more in real world projects. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please open an issue or send me an email.
examples/stackoverflow.rs```rust extern crate select; use select::document::Document; use select::predicate::{Attr, Class, Name};

println!("# Menu");
for node in document.find(Attr("id", "hmenus")).find(Name("a")).iter() {
println!("{} ({:?})", node.text(), node.attr("href").unwrap());
}
println!("");
println!("# Top 5 Questions");
for node in document.find(Class("question-summary")).iter().take(5) {
let question = node.find(Class("question-hyperlink")).first().unwrap();
let votes = node.find(Class("vote-count-post")).first().unwrap().text();
