About this fork
This fork includes several modernizations:, (*5)
- Merged https://github.com/kevee/phpquery/tree/phpquery-css with https://github.com/electrolinux/phpquery
- Removed CSSParser from this repository and included it via composer
- Added PhpQuery\ namespace
- Adjusted the folder structure to reflect usage of PSR-4
- Corrected the unit tests and integrated with travis-ci
Beyond these adjustments, this project will be minimally maintained. For more phpQuery usage information and fork history, I highly recommend you review the https://github.com/electrolinux/phpquery README., (*6)

My Preferred Alternative
There are several alternatives to phpQuery out there. While several have a healthy adoption rate, I was
looking for a library that leveraged SimpleXML and focused on the PHP use case rather than building all
of the functionality from scratch and adding unnecessarily methods and selectors simply for jQuery
semantic completeness. In the end, I selected to launch a project that attempts to a be a PHP-centric
lightweight wrapper for SimpleXML. Learn more about QuipXml., (*8)
