JSON output

[tercerapersona]

Have you thought about adding JSON output?

-t, --text                 Output only the contents of text nodes inside selected elements
-j, --json                 Output JSON representation of the selected elements

It would be great to curl + parse with htmlq and finally pipe to jq ;)

You can do that right now with pup.

A way is to use xq.

Running

curl --silent https://www.rust-lang.org/ | htmlq '#get-help' | xq .

you have
