Gokogiri

Pure-Go XML/HTML DOM and XPath library

Gokogiri is a pure-Go library providing a DOM-like interface for XML and HTML documents, inspired by the Ruby Nokogiri API. It allows you to parse, manipulate, and create HTML and XML documents. Nodes can be selected using CSS selectors (in much the same fashion as jQuery) or XPath 1.0 expressions.

Version 5.1+ is a pure-Go implementation with zero C dependencies. Earlier versions required libxml2/libxslt C libraries.
