jerry

Pages on the web are modeled as data in the form of a tree. Nodes have child
nodes, such that your average webpage consists of containers of containers of
containers of--ultimately--text or media content. In certain contexts, notably
from the perspective of a user, webpages are better represented with the flat
structure of a more traditional document. Jerry is a framework for translating
between webpages-as-tree-structures and -as-linear-text. With jerry, every
Node on a webpage is given an Address---which can then be manipulated in
various ways.
