PureScript is a strongly typed, purely functional programming language that compiles JavaScript. It enables developers to build robust web applications, web servers, and mobile apps using functional programming techniques. PureScript offers features such as algebraic data types, pattern matching, row polymorphism, extensible records, higher-kinded types, type classes with functional dependencies, and higher-rank polymorphism. The language emphasizes strong static typing and pure functions, ensuring code reliability and maintainability. Developers can compile PureScript code into readable JavaScript, facilitating seamless integration with existing JavaScript codebases. The ecosystem includes an extensive collection of libraries, excellent tooling, and editor support with instant rebuilds. An active community provides numerous learning resources, including the PureScript book, which offers practical projects for beginners.

jsoup is a Java library that simplifies working with real-world HTML and XML. It offers an easy-to-use API for URL fetching, data parsing, extraction, and manipulation using DOM API methods, CSS, and XPath selectors. jsoup implements the WHATWG HTML5 specification and parses HTML to the same DOM as modern browsers. With jsoup, you can scrape and parse HTML from a URL, file, or string; find and extract data using DOM traversal or CSS selectors; manipulate HTML elements, attributes, and text; clean user-submitted content against a safelist to prevent XSS attacks; and output tidy HTML. jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild, from pristine and validating to invalid tag-soup, creating a sensible parse tree. For example, you can fetch the Wikipedia homepage, parse it to a DOM, and select the headlines from the "In the news" section into a list of elements.
