in the sense that jQuery makes it very easy to modify a DOM-tree across css-selected sets of nodes, (i use it in almost every greasemonkey script i write), you may find it useful that it can be run on the server, on Rhino. 

theres jQuery like things (at least the selection/traversal/transform bits) for Ruby (Hpricot) and i'd presume for Python, Perl, etc as well


i would have mentioned crowbar but it was already!
