Well, jq is grep as well as sed and awk, but yeah, htmlq seems to be just grep, for sake of comparison. But I don't think html has any need for a sed/awk tool, or at least not as much. Json output could very well be piped forward to the next CLI tool after you've changed it slightly with jq. I don't see this scenario as likely with html.

Someone else posted xidel[0] in this thread, which I've not used, but it seems to be the "jq but for html". [0] https://github.com/benibela/xidel https://github.com/benibela/xidel
