| Description: | Python HTML/XML parser (3.0.7a-1) | |
Beautiful Soup is a Python HTML/XML parser designed for quick
turnaround projects like screen-scraping. Three features make
it powerful:
1. Beautiful Soup won't choke if you give it bad markup.
It yields a parse tree that makes approximately as much
sense as your original document. This is usually good enough
to collect the data you need and run away.
2. Beautiful Soup provides a few simple methods and Pythonic
idioms for navigating, searching, and modifying a parse
tree: a toolkit for dissecting a document and extracting
what you need. You don't have to create a custom parser
for each application.
3. Beautiful Soup automatically converts incoming documents
to Unicode and outgoing documents to UTF-8. You don't have
to think about encodings, unless the document doesn't specify
an encoding and Beautiful Soup can't autodetect one. Then you
just have to specify the original encoding.
