# Whacko
[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/inikulin/whacko.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/inikulin/whacko)
[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/whacko.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/whacko)

Whacko is a fork of [cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio) that uses [parse5](https://github.com/inikulin/parse5) as an underlying platform.

## Install
```
$ npm install whacko
```

## API
Difference with cheerio:
* Use `$.load(content)` to load HTML documents (e.g. missing `<html>` tags will be automatically emitted in this case).
* Use `$(content)` to create HTML-fragments which can be later added to the loaded document.
* Parser options (e.g. `xmlMode` and `normalizeWhitespace`) are missing since whacko is intended for spec compliant HTML parsing.
* New parser option `encodeEntities` added. When false, it disables HTML entities decoding on serialization.
* New parser option `decodeHtmlEntities` added. When false, it disables HTML entities decoding on parse.

In all other aspects it is the same with the [cheerio API](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio#api).
