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>

• match
Value to look for, following the rules above.
Returns
Cheerio<S>

filter(this, match)
filter<
T,S>(this,match):Cheerio<Sextendsstring?Element:T>

- If using the function method, the function is executed in the context of the
selected element, so
thisrefers to the current element.

Value to look for, following the rules above. See AcceptedFilters.
Returns
Cheerio<S extends string ? Element : T>

not<
T>(this,match):Cheerio<T>
Remove elements from the set of matched elements. Given a Cheerio object that
represents a set of DOM elements, the .not() method constructs a new
Cheerio object from a subset of the matching elements. The supplied selector
is tested against each element; the elements that don't match the selector
will be included in the result.

from the filtered set; all other elements are included.
