What is the Cheerio Crawler?

As a DOM parsing library for the Node.js ecosystem, Cheerio implements the application of jQuery-like syntax in server-side web page parsing. Its core converts documents into in-memory DOM trees through HTML parsers, and uses CSS selectors to achieve accurate data positioning. IP2world's proxy IP service provides IP rotation support for high-frequency data collection, effectively breaking through the limitations of the anti-crawling mechanism and ensuring the continuity of collection tasks.

1. Technical architecture and core principles

1.1 Working mechanism of the parsing engine

Achieving a parsing speed of 10MB+ per second based on htmlparser2

Memory usage is controlled within 1.2 times the original HTML size

Support HTML5 tag semantic parsing (tolerance rate > 99%)

1.2 Selector performance optimization

Compound selectors are compiled into precompiled functions (e.g. $('div.content > ul.list'))

Cache high-frequency query paths to reduce repeated analysis

Support pseudo-class selectors (:first-child, :contains(text))

1.3 Stream Processing Capabilities

Load large HTML documents in chunks (default threshold is 1MB)

Event-driven model to process real-time data streams

Implementing multi-threaded concurrent acquisition via IP2world data center proxy

2. Technological breakthroughs in data collection scenarios

2.1 Structured Data Extraction

XPath expressions converted to CSS selector syntax

Multi-level nested JSON structure generation (depth ≥ 10 layers)

Regular expression enhanced text cleaning (supports lookahead and lookbehind assertions)

2.2 Dynamic Content Processing

Pre-rendered page capture (integrating Puppeteer to generate initial DOM)

Intelligent triggering of lazy loading resources (scroll/click event simulation)

Circumvent geo-restricted content with IP2world dynamic residential proxies

2.3 Incremental Collection Strategy

Hash fingerprint recognition page changes (MD5 comparison accuracy 99.99%)

Timestamp-based versioning

Breakpoint-resume mining mechanism ensures task fault tolerance

3. Anti-climbing technology system

3.1 Request feature camouflage

User-proxy rotation pool (≥ 2000 device fingerprints)

TLS fingerprint randomization (JA3/JA3N obfuscation)

Dynamic adjustment of request interval (0.5s-5s normal distribution)

3.2 Behavioral pattern simulation

Mouse movement trajectory modeling (Bezier curve simulation)

Page dwell time control (in line with human operation distribution)

Establish a fixed IP fingerprint through IP2world static ISP proxy

3.3 Verification code cracking solution

Image recognition API integration (accuracy > 92%)

Verification token automatic renewal mechanism

Human-machine verification behavior chain learning (sliding trajectory/puzzle positioning)

4. Performance Optimization Methodology

4.1 Memory Management Strategy

Slice releases processed DOM nodes

Worker threads isolate parsing tasks

Zero-copy technology to transfer raw HTML

4.2 Distributed Architecture Design

Master-slave node task scheduling (heartbeat detection interval ≤ 3s)

Consistent hashing algorithm to allocate collection targets

Use IP2world unlimited server proxy to support millions of concurrent connections

4.3 Error Recovery Mechanism

Automatic retry for abnormal status code (403/503 up to 3 times)

Failed task priority downgrade queue

Network fluctuation adaptive reconnection (exponential backoff algorithm)

5. Technological evolution and ecological integration

5.1 Cloud Native Support

Kubernetes horizontal expansion collection cluster

Serverless architecture cold start optimization (<500ms)

Distributed locks guarantee task atomicity

5.2 Intelligent Evolution

Machine learning predicts page structure changes

Adaptive selector generation (identifying data hotspots)

Real-time warning of abnormal traffic patterns

5.3 Compliance Enhancement

Dynamic parsing of Robots.txt protocol

GDPR Data Minimization Policy

Automatically erase user privacy fields (email/phone number)
