Request to Incorporate Cheerio Library for More Efficient Web Scraping
Dear Xano Support Team, I am a user of the Xano platform and have been leveraging the platform's Lambda functionality for various data transformation tasks. I must commend the current offerings in terms of in-built libraries and functions, and they serve the purpose well in most use cases. However, as I delve deeper into more intricate tasks, specifically web scraping, I find myself faced with limitations using the current libraries at disposal. While the existing JavaScript libraries and Axios have been beneficial, they do not fully cover the wide range of use cases, specifically parsing HTML content efficiently. Cheerio is a popular, fast, and flexible library that allows users to utilize the core jQuery functions server-side. It is specifically designed for this purpose and is widely used for web scraping in JavaScript. Unlike other libraries, Cheerio provides a simple, intuitive, and powerful API to traverse, manipulate and filter HTML document structure without the overhead of rendering the page like browser-based libraries. By incorporating the Cheerio library into Xano's stack, it would open a range of new possibilities: 1. **Efficient and Accurate Web Scraping**: Cheerio provides a robust and efficient way of extracting information from HTML content. 2. **Enhanced HTML Parsing**: With Cheerio, users can parse HTML, handle DOM, and extract data more reliably and accurately. 3. **Broadened User Capabilities**: Users would be enabled to work on a wider range of projects, leading to more use-cases being served by Xano. In light of the reasons stated above, I kindly request that you consider adding Cheerio to the list of supported libraries in Xano. I believe this would be a significant upgrade for all users like me who often deal with web scraping tasks. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing continuous improvements in your platform. Best Regards, Alex
