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?

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. |

evaluatemethod to could be the real problem if the page is not coming from the same origin as the document with the script. – Martin Honnen Jul 20 '12 at 13:45
