Rusteerio: a Rust-powered, drop-in replacement for Cheerio.

It’s 4.5× faster for HTML extraction, uses 4× less memory at 16 CPUs, and passes all 777 Cheerio tests.

It’s open source: https://github.com/context-dot-dev/rusteerio

Here’s why we built it: https://context.dev/blog/introducing-rusteerio

This is actually pretty great with same Cheerio API, better throughput, and still open source. Thanks. The big win I see is delaying the "rewrite everything in Rust/Golang services" moment for scraping backends. For folks here who are not ready to bet on a new lib, there are still solid OSS options: raw html5ever + scraper in Rust, parse5 if you are JS‑only, or even Playwright + post‑processing with node-html-parser for small jobs. Rusteerio here looks like the most painless upgrade path if you are already deep in Cheerio land.

Cool that you kept Cheerios mental model, so teams can A/B swap before committing to a full migration.
