About:
HtmlQuery (hq) is a command-line tool that applies jq-like JSON processing to HTML documents. It parses HTML into a structured format and allows users to query and extract data using CSS selectors or a functional syntax. This enables developers to scrape and manipulate web content directly from the terminal without needing complex scripts.

Key Features:

jq-like syntax for HTML
CSS selector support
Command-line interface
Structured data extraction

Use Cases:

Scraping data from HTML pages
Extracting specific elements from web content
Processing HTML in shell scripts

Alternatives:

pup – Similar CLI HTML parsing tool, but with a different query syntax
jq – Industry standard for JSON processing, does not natively support HTML
