Main examples at Apify SDK webpage, Github repo and CLI templates should demonstrate how to manipulate with DOM and retrieve data from it.

Also add one example of scraping with Apify SDK + jQuery to https://sdk.apify.com/docs/examples/basiccrawler

Feedback from: https://medium.com/better-programming/do-i-need-python-scrapy-to-build-a-web-scraper-7cc7cac2081d

I lost an hour trying to make a simple page parsed with Apify SDK, trying to understand how to access the DOM and selectors. If you want a great crawler this might work for you but you need to understand its particular logic and I didn’t have time for it.

This is related to apifytech/apify-cli#23. Basically we should have a single shared list of well-prepared project templates, and use them in CLI, app and Apify SDK examples.
