Package goquery implements features similar to jQuery, including the chainable
syntax, to manipulate and query an HTML document (the modification functions of jQuery are not included).

It depends on Go's experimental html package, which must be installed so that it
can be imported as "github.com/sunfmin/goquery/exp/html". See this tutorial on how to install it 
accordingly: http://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/InstallingExp

It uses Cascadia as CSS selector (similar to Sizzle for jQuery). This dependency
is automatically installed when using "go get ..." to install GoQuery.

To provide a chainable interface, error management is strict, and goquery panics
if an invalid Cascadia selector is used (this is consistent with the behavior of
jQuery/Sizzle/document.querySelectorAll, where an error is thrown). This is
necessary since multiple return values cannot be used to allow a chainable 
interface.

It is hosted on GitHub, along with additional documentation in the README.md
file: https://github.com/puerkitobio/goquery

The various methods are split into files based on the category of behavior:

* array.go : array-like positional manipulation of the selection.
    - Eq()
    - First()
    - Get()
    - Index...()
    - Last()
    - Slice()

* expand.go : methods that expand or augment the selection's set.
    - Add...()
    - AndSelf()
    - Union(), which is an alias for AddSelection()

* filter.go : filtering methods, that reduce the selection's set.
    - End()
    - Filter...()
    - Has...()
    - Intersection(), which is an alias of FilterSelection()
    - Not...()

* iteration.go : methods to loop over the selection's nodes.
    - Each()
    - Map()

* property.go : methods that inspect and get the node's properties values.
    - Attr()
    - Html()
    - Length()
    - Size(), which is an alias for Length()
    - Text()

* query.go : methods that query, or reflect, a node's identity.
    - Contains()
    - HasClass()
    - Is...()

* traversal.go : methods to traverse the HTML document tree.
    - Children...()
    - Contents()
    - Find...()
    - Next...()
    - Parent[s]...()
    - Prev...()
    - Siblings...()

* type.go : definition of the types exposed by GoQuery.
    - Document
    - Selection
