  <ul class="blue-fish">
    <li class="one-fish">Hello</li>
    <li class="two-fish">World</li>
  </ul>
</div>
"""
|> Exquery.tree
|> Exquery.Query.css(".two-fish")

Evaluates to:

[{{:tag, "li", [{"class", "two-fish"}]}, [{:text, "World", []}]}]

select an element with one/2

Selecting an li:tag with specific attrs using one/2

"""
<div class="red-fish">
  <ul class="blue-fish">
    <li class="one-fish">Hello</li>
    <li class="two-fish">World</li>
  </ul>
</div>
"""
|> Exquery.tree
|> Exquery.Query.one({:tag, "li", [{"class", "one-fish"}]})

This evaluates to:

{{:tag, "li", [{"class", "one-fish"}]}, [{:text, "Hello", []}]}

select all elements with all/2

Similarly, you can select all elements using all/2

"""
<div class="red-fish">
  <ul class="blue-fish">
    <li class="one-fish">Hello</li>
    <li class="two-fish">World</li>
  </ul>
</div>
"""
|> Exquery.tree
|> Exquery.Query.all({:tag, "li", []})

This evaluates to:

[{{:tag, "li", [{"class", "one-fish"}]}, [{:text, "Hello", []}]},
 {{:tag, "li", [{"class", "two-fish"}]}, [{:text, "World", []}]}]

select siblings with before/3 and next/3

You can select a sibling using before/3 andnext/3` elixir """ <div class="red-fish"> <ul class="blue-fish"> <li class="one-fish">Hello</li> <li class="two-fish">World</li> </ul> </div> """ |> Exquery.tree |> Exquery.Query.next({:tag, "li", []}) This evaluates to: elixir {{:tag, "li", [{"class", "two-fish"}]}, [{:text, "World", []}]} or elixir """ <div class="red-fish"> <ul class="blue-fish"> <li class="one-fish">Hello</li> <li class="two-fish">World</li> </ul> </div> """ |> Exquery.tree |> Exquery.Query.before({:tag, "li", [{"class", "two-fish"}]}) This evaluates to: elixir {{:tag, "li", [{"class", "one-fish"}]}, [{:text, "Hello", []}]} #### Todo: Documentation CSS style selections * Streaming tokenizer and tree builder
