Beautiful Soup is a Python library used for web scraping and parsing HTML and XML documents. It simplifies the process of extracting and manipulating data from web pages, even when the markup is poorly structured. Beautiful Soup is known for its ease of use, flexibility, and compatibility with different parsers, making it a valuable tool for developers working with web data.

Features of Beautiful Soup:
  • Supports parsing of HTML and XML documents, including poorly structured or invalid markup.
  • Provides methods like find() and find_all() to navigate and extract specific elements from the parsed document.
  • Supports multiple parsers including Python’s built-in html.parser, lxml, and html5lib.
  • Allows easy manipulation and cleaning of web data, such as extracting links, text, or images.
  • Can be used in combination with other Python libraries like requests for fetching web pages or pandas for data analysis.
