Question
In .NET there is a lovely library that allows me to easily parse an external html page using xpath queries (HTML Agility Project) - the problem is I have to do that client-side, so only javascript. Is there any way to do that?
Accepted Answer
jQuery also supports xPath selector as well CSS, you can get more information from the link below.

You can try it https://github.com/andrejpavlovic/xpathjs
Actually there are a lot of it and there is an window.evaluate method by default.
But the reason why mostly all frameworks using selectors like jQuery/Mootols/Dojo (Sizzle) is that in all modern modern browsers it`s supports almostly native and gets fall back if it doesn't. So in most ways it's faster.
