class Selector:
"""Wrapper for input data in HTML, JSON, or XML format, that allows
selecting parts of it using selection expressions.
You can write selection expressions in CSS or XPath for HTML and XML
inputs, or in JMESPath for JSON inputs.
``text`` is an ``str`` object.
``body`` is a ``bytes`` object. It can be used together with the
``encoding`` argument instead of the ``text`` argument.
``type`` defines the selector type. It can be ``"html"`` (default),
``"json"``, or ``"xml"``.
``base_url`` allows setting a URL for the document. This is needed when looking up external entities with relative paths.
See the documentation for :func:`lxml.etree.fromstring` for more information.
``huge_tree`` controls the lxml/libxml2 feature that forbids parsing
certain large documents to protect from possible memory exhaustion. The
argument is ``True`` by default if the installed lxml version supports it,
which disables the protection to allow parsing such documents. Set it to
``False`` if you want to enable the protection.
See `this lxml FAQ entry <https://lxml.de/FAQ.html#is-lxml-vulnerable-to-xml-bombs>`_
