No support for SQL, to quickly query through complicated data structures?

I mean....that's a pretty arbitrary thing to assume would be present when the data structure is HTML. xpath, css selectors, etc... are the standards there.

So let's say I want to access a huge database; it's too large to fit in memory. Then why wouldn't SQL be an appropriate way to navigate through it?

You should use this to translate HTML into data, insert that data into a database, then do SQL.
