Hello, can you recommend good crates to parse html and query it with css selectors?

Why don't you perform a quick search on crates.io?

I recommend scraper.

select

I used to try scraper and select in a repo, but I finally chose select without remembering why.

Hey!

For parsing HTML and querying with CSS selectors in Rust, I’d recommend the scraper crate. It’s very user-friendly and allows you to use CSS selectors to extract data from HTML.

Here’s a quick example:

rust

use scraper::{Html, Selector};

let html = "<html>...</html>";
let document = Html::parse_document(html);
let selector = Selector::parse("div.class_name").unwrap();

for element in document.select(&selector) {
    println!("{}", element.inner_html());
}

You can also check out select, another crate, but scraper is probably the best choice for your needs.

If you’re doing web scraping and running into anti-scraping measures, you might want to consider using Multilogin to avoid detection. It helps manage multiple browser profiles and avoid blocks. Check it out here.

Good luck!
