I know this is a bit of a tangent, but since you mentioned parsing, I'd like to
go off in that direction. The way parsoid represents a page is a mix of HTML
and json (RDFa), with the template details being in the json parts. There are
good tools for processing HTML documents and searching for specific nodes based
on the tree structure. While there are tools for working with RDFa, it's a
much sparser ecosystem (see https://rdfa.info/tools <https://rdfa.info/tools>).
As far as I know, there are no tools that let you do queries like:
Find all the xyz templates with a foo=bar attribute that exist inside a <div
class="blah">
because that crosses between the HTML and RDFa domains. Writing such a query
is easy with many existing tools that use either XPATH or css selector syntax.
