goquery brings a syntax and a set of features similar to [jQuery][] to the [Go language][go]. It is based on Go's [net/html package][html] and the CSS Selector library [cascadia][]. Since the net/html parser returns nodes, and not a full-featured DOM tree, jQuery's stateful manipulation functions (like height(), css(), detach()) have been left off.

Syntax-wise, it is as close as possible to jQuery, with the same function names when possible, and that warm and fuzzy chainable interface. jQuery being the ultra-popular library that it is, I felt that writing a similar HTML-manipulating library was better to follow its API than to start anew (in the same spirit as Go's `fmt` package), even though some of its methods are less than intuitive (looking at you, [index()][index]...).

## Support
There are a number of ways you can support the project:
* Use it, star it, build something with it, spread the word!
- If you do build something open-source or otherwise publicly-visible, let me know so I can add it to the [Related Projects](#related-projects) section!
* Raise issues to improve the project (note: doc typos and clarifications are issues too!)
- Please search existing issues before opening a new one - it may have already been adressed.
* Pull requests: please discuss new code in an issue first, unless the fix is really trivial.
- Make sure new code is tested.
- Be mindful of existing code - PRs that break existing code have a high probability of being declined, unless it fixes a serious issue.
