I haven't used scraper too much. I personally find the predicate approach of select.rs [0] easier to use. However in this case the selector approach just made more sense.
Standalone html5ever can be a bit cumbersome to work with directly, scraper is basically an implementation of the html5ever's `TreeSink` trait, where as `select.rs` uses the hmtl5ever `RcDom` to parse the document but stores it in a more convenient way. If you look for a minimal approach you should at select.rs which basicially only depends on html5ever
