Nodejs webscraping

Hello fellas 😊 I want to do hardcore webscraping with nodejs I need libraries to help me with except getting anything related to jQuery like cheerio. I'm just not a fan of jQuery and I wouldn't want to start using it this time.

Cheerio is not really related to jQuery, I think. It is just a wrapper around htmlparser2.

If you use Puppeteer, you will also need CSS selectors.

Or do you prefer XPath? But I don't really know a library for this in Node.js.
