If you want to build DOM you can use jsdom    There s also cheerio  it has the jQuery interface and it s a lot faster than older versions of jsdom  although these days they are similar in performance   You might wanna have a look at htmlparser2  which is a streaming parser  and according to its benchmark  it seems to be faster than others  and no DOM by default  It can also produce a DOM  as it is also bundled with a handler that creates a DOM  This is the parser that is used by cheerio   parse5 also looks like a good solution  It s fairly active  11 days since the last commit as of this update   WHATWG-compliant  and is used in jsdom  Angular  and Polymer   And if you want to parse HTML for web scraping  you can use YQL1  There is a node module for it  YQL I think would be the best solution if your HTML is from a static website  since you are relying on a service  not your own code and processing power  Though note that it won t work if the page is disallowed by the robot txt of the website  YQL won t work with it   If the website you re trying to scrape is dynamic then you should be using a headless browser like phantomjs  Also have a look at casperjs  if you re considering phantomjs  And you can control casperjs from node with SpookyJS   Beside phantomjs there s zombiejs  Unlike phantomjs that cannot be embedded in nodejs  zombiejs is just a node module   There s a nettuts  toturial for the latter solutions     1 Since Aug  2014  YUI library  which is a requirement for YQL  is no longer actively maintained  source
