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.
