anyhow VS select.rs

Depending on your use case, thiserror and/or anyhow.

There is ? as well as the anyhow(https://github.com/dtolnay/anyhow) crate that deals with long nested result chains.

There are crates out there that help you reduce this boiler plate. thiserror is good for creating custom errors and color-eyre or anyhow are good for dynamic errors.

Give anyhow a look.

I've brought anyhow::Result into scope, making error handling super easy to use. We don't need to specify all our Error types. It can automatically convert any errors that implement std::error::Error, which should be all of them. If an error propagates all the way up to main(), we'll get all the info it's captured printed to stdout.

Alternatively, if you've got a lot of error types and you're outside a library (so directly in a binary where you don't plan to reuse code elsewhere) you can use anyhow. This gives you an error type you can basically propagate any other error through. On top of that you can attach context information at every return. It's basically a more complicated Result>.

One approach is to define a separate error type for each crate and then use anyhow, eyre or Box to wrap the error, whever a function can return errors originating in several different crates.

Have you tried anyhow and thiserror for making it as simple as .context("Message") or ? to type-convert and propagate errors up the call stack?

Once we have our string response, we can use the select.rs library to ensure the structure matches our intent. In this case, we are asserting we've received an h1 element with a text body matching the string NOT FOUND!.

Standalone html5ever can be a 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
