Class: abstract Cheerio<T>

The cheerio class is the central class of the library. It wraps a set of elements and provides an API for traversing, modifying, and interacting with the set.

Loading a document will return the Cheerio class bound to the root element of the document. The class will be instantiated when querying the document (when calling $('selector')).

Example​

<ul id="fruits">
  <li class="apple">Apple</li>
  <li class="orange">Orange</li>
  <li class="pear">Pear</li>
</ul>
