What is beautiful soup?
Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick turnaround projects like screen-scraping. Three features that makes Beautiful Soup powerful:
- Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup.
- Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse tree.
- Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8.
Beautiful Soup parses anything you give it.
Valuable data that was once locked up in poorly-designed websites is now within your reach. Projects that would have taken hours take only minutes with Beautiful Soup.
