🌐 Beautiful Soup: a key tool for extracting data from the web
#

Beautiful Soup is a Python library designed to extract information from HTML and XML documents in a simple and efficient way.

  • 🔍 It lets you navigate the document tree, search for tags, extract text, and modify structures.
  • ⚡ Saves hours of work when you need to do web scraping or process structured content.

🧩 Quick explanation
#

If you’re new to this, imagine a web page as a tree full of branches (HTML tags).
Beautiful Soup helps you traverse that tree easily to find exactly what you need:

  • 📄 texts
  • 🔗 links
  • 🏷️ specific tags

Instead of looking for everything “by hand”, this library does it for you with just a few lines of code.
