Starting with 1.0.0-rc.4, release notes are exclusively tracked in Github Releases.

1.0.0-rc.3 / 2019-04-06

This release corrects a test expectation that was fixed by one of the project's dependencies.

1.0.0-rc.2 / 2017-07-02

This release changes Cheerio's default parser to the Parse5 HTML parser. Parse5 is an excellent project that rigorously conforms to the HTML standard. It does not support XML, so Cheerio continues to use htmlparser2 when working with XML documents.

This switch addresses many long-standing bugs in Cheerio, but some users may experience slower behavior in performance-critical applications. In addition, htmlparser2 is more forgiving of invalid markup which can be useful when input sourced from a third party and cannot be corrected. For these reasons, the load method also accepts a DOM structure as produced by the htmlparser2 library. See the project's "readme" file for more details on this usage pattern.

Migrating from version 0.x

cheerio.load( html[, options ] ) This method continues to act as a "factory" function. It produces functions that define an API that is similar to the global jQuery function provided by the jQuery library. The generated function operates on a DOM structure based on the provided HTML.

In releases prior to version 1.0, the provided HTML was interpreted as a document fragment. Following version 1.0, strings provided to the load method are interpreted as documents. The same example will produce a $ function that operates on a full HTML document, including an <html> document element with nested <head> and <body> tags. This mimics web browser behavior much more closely, but may require alterations to existing code.

For example, the following code will produce different results between 0.x and 1.0 releases:

var $ = cheerio.load('<p>Hello, <b>world</b>!</p>');

$.root().html();

//=> In version 0.x: '<p>Hello, <b>world</b>!</p>'
//=> In version 1.0: '<html><head></head><body><p>Hello, <b>world</b>!</p></body></html>'

Users wishing to parse, manipulate, and render full documents should not need to modify their code. Likewise, code that does not interact with the "root" element should not be effected by this change. (In the above example, the expression $('p') returns the same result across Cheerio versions--a Cheerio collection whose only member is a paragraph element.)

However, users wishing to render document fragments should now explicitly create a "wrapper" element to contain their input.

// First, create a Cheerio function "bound" to an empty document (this is
// similar to loading an empty page in a web browser)
var $ = cheerio.load('');
// Next, create a "wrapper" element for the input fragment:
var $wrapper = $('<div/>');
// Finally, supply the input markup as the content for the wrapper:
$wrapper.append('<p>Hello, <b>world</b>!</p>');

$wrapper.html();
//=> '<p>Hello, <b>world</b>!</p>'

  • Now relying on cheerio-soupselect instead of node-soupselect
  • Removed all lingering htmlparser dependencies
  • parser now returns parent "root" element. Root now never needs to be updated when there is multiple roots. This fixes ongoing issues with before(...), after(...) and other manipulation functions
  • Added jQuery's \$(...).replaceWith(...)

# 0.3.0 / 2011-11-19

  • Now using htmlparser2 for parsing (2x speed increase, cleaner, actively developed)
  • Added benchmark directory for future speed tests
  • $('...').dom() was funky, so it was removed in favor of $('...').get(). \$.dom() still works the same.
  • $.root now correctly static across all instances of $
  • Added a screencast
