What are CSS Selectors?

CSS selectors are patterns used to select and style HTML elements. Beyond styling, they're essential for web scraping, automated testing, and JavaScript DOM manipulation. CSS selectors provide a fast, intuitive way to target elements.

Why Use CSS Selectors?

CSS selectors are widely supported, easy to read, and generally faster than XPath for simple selections. They're the preferred choice for modern web automation tools and are familiar to anyone who's worked with CSS styling.

Common CSS Selector Patterns

  • #elementId - Select by ID (most specific)
  • .className - Select by class name
  • div[data-id="123"] - Select by attribute
  • li:nth-child(2) - Select by position
