In Python it is very simple: pandas.read_html("some URL");
I am wondering what's the best way to do this in Javascript. Is there some existing library that can help with this?

@caramba Not entirely sure. I guess I am looking for something simpler: scrapes all tables in a link and returns a list of tables.KoSpades– KoSpades2020-02-18 20:46:37 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 20:46

You might want to take a look at DOMParser this will create a document object where you can perform any kind of manipulation as any normal html page.
example:
var doc = DOMParser.parseFromString("<html code here>", "text/html");
var tables = doc.querySelectorAll('table'); // returns NodeList
You should fetch the html string from another part of your program.
