Cheerio parses markup and provides an API for traversing/manipulating the resulting data structure. It does not interpret the result as a web browser does. Specifically, it does _not_ produce a visual rendering, apply CSS, load external resources, or execute JavaScript. This makes Cheerio **much, much faster than other solutions**. If your use case requires any of this functionality, you should consider projects like [Puppeteer](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer) or [JSDom](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom).
Cheerio parses markup and provides an API for traversing/manipulating the resulting data structure. It does not interpret the result as a web browser does.

If your use case requires any of this functionality, you should consider browser automation software like [Puppeteer](https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer) and [Playwright](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright) or DOM emulation projects like [JSDom](https://github.com/jsdom/jsdom).
