About:
Cascadia is a command-line interface (CLI) tool built on Go's net/html and cascadia packages. It allows users to apply CSS selectors directly to HTML content from the terminal, similar to how jQuery works in the browser. This utility is ideal for parsing and extracting data from HTML documents without the overhead of a full browser engine.

Key Features:

Go-based performance and single-binary deployment
Supports standard CSS3 selectors
Parses HTML from standard input or files
Outputs extracted content or modified HTML

Use Cases:

Scraping specific data points from HTML files or web pages via curl
Validating HTML structure and selector targeting
Quick command-line data extraction for shell scripting

Alternatives:

pup – Pup is a more widely known tool with similar functionality, while cascadia offers a lightweight alternative.
jq – Jq is for JSON, whereas cascadia specifically handles HTML parsing with CSS selectors.
